A Murky Case of Murder at the Movies: Large Print Edition

By: Doyle, Donna

Book Overview

*** SPECIAL LARGE PRINT EDITION ***

A retired widow with a pet blog. A film critic nobody will miss. One cinema where a gunshot passed for the soundtrack.

Emily Cherry, Retired Pet-and-Book Blogger and Animal Shelter Volunteer. Emily writes about shelter dogs and the books she loves from a quiet home in Little Oakley. Movie reviews seemed a harmless way to fill an afternoon. She wants Walter Powell's death answered, whatever the town thought of him. Half of Little Oakley resented the man, and the detective who believes her is away.

Anita, Emily's Best Friend and Unofficial Partner in Snooping. Anita talked Emily into the movie reviews and refuses to let her knock on a director's door alone. She wants Emily to keep the little space she has carved out in this town. The further into Walter's world they get, the less it looks like entertainment.

Walter Powell was shot a few feet from the popcorn counter, and Emily heard it without knowing what it was. The cinema staff, the director he savaged in print, the editor who fired him: every name she clears adds two more.

Walter Powell had nobody to miss him. Emily Cherry means to see him answered for anyway.

- Small Town Cinema Murder - a death in a full building, in the middle of the afternoon showing
- Pet Blogger Heroine - the shelter dog of the week shares a page with the film she just watched
- Animal Shelter Volunteer - Best Friends Furever, where Popcorn and Grace are both waiting on a home
