Murder at the House of Funerals : A Tracy Brubaker Mystery (Paperback)

It's almost Halloween! The perfect holiday for sweet munchies, monsters, and murder! Attorney Tracy Brubaker Shane is especially looking forward to October 31, 2019, because a childhood hero will be returning to the small screen - live! Former horror host Richard George, aka Dr. Mort Itchin, comes out of retirement to again present a classic horror film from his House of Funerals, and Tracy will be in the studio audience. She even manages to be invited to rehearsals. But soon after her arrival behind the scenes, she realizes everyone is not wallowing in happy nostalgia. The thorn is everyone's side is Carl Jeffries, who once upon a time played Dr. Mort's sidekick, Nagging Skeleton. Jeffries's daughter, Megan Wallace, is producing the program. But there's no love lost between father and child. The show's director is in love with Megan and isn't too pleased with the friction Jeffries is causing. Other crew members have their own reasons for despising Jeffries. When the violence finally erupts in a most appropriate, if grisly, fashion, Tracy is right there to begin her investigation, especially when her hero is charged with the crime. Not surprisingly, she discovers multiple possible motives including buried secrets, sheer hatred, and old-fashioned showmanship. But can Tracy find the truth in time so the show can go on? It's another Tracy Brubaker mystery filled with tricks, treats, and surprises. Happy Halloween!
