This spoof of English mysteries with a decidedly American flavor finds Miss Maple, a society dowager noted for her imaginative week end parties, awaiting a group of detective writers invited to eerie Ravenswood Manor where they are to assume the personalities of their fictional characters. She's arranged all sorts of scary, amusing incidents. Then a real murder takes place and the guests realize they're all marked for death. When they're not busy tripping over the clues, the zany sleuths trip over one another.

"A spiny mystery with a generous injection of wild humor." - Arizona Journal
