Christietown is an expensive addition of new homes. CeCe Carouso is a writer and currently she is writing about Agatha Christie. Her bookkeeper gets her a gig at Christietown. CeCe is staging a play featuring Miss Marple. Before the play can get off the ground the leading lady is missing.

As CeCe tries investigating she finds that all may not be on the up and up at Christietown.

So CeCe now has problems with her play and what happened to her leading lady, as well as trouble with her fiancée, since CeCe is having a problem setting a wedding date.

To add to the problems, CeCe’s daughter is expecting and her ex-husband comes to town along with his fiancée and his future mother-in-law.

The book is full of humor and there is a mystery to solve. An interesting read that also includes a lot of Agatha Christie background.
