But turning fifty meant being replaced by a younger actress, and Mary believed her days in the spotlight were over. That is, until an old friend’s murder mystery party propels her back into the public eye – as a prime suspect. Now, the former TV detective must become a real-life sleuth to clear her name. With her endearing, puppy-like brother and her unexpectedly resourceful assistant, Dot, Mary embarks on a quest to uncover the truth. ________________________________
