He gets his wish -- and more -- when a troupe of flashy, urbane filmmakers clamors into the nearby town of Drim. Before long bedlam erupts around their make-believe mystery ...and culminates in the sudden appearance of one very real corpse.The initial suspect in the killing is one Patricia Martyn-Broyd, the aging mystery writer furious that her musty old cozies are getting a risque face-lift in their TV reincarnation. Yet, going behind the scenes, Hamish soon finds a town full of locals bitten by the movie bug and a cast of quarreling show business types, all harboring their own secrets, lies, and hidden agendas. And as the culprit strikes again, Hamish must quickly find the right killer -- or script the wrong finale to a show gone murderously awry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"pagesFormat\"\u003e304 pages, Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003eFirst published June 1, 1998\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"publicationInfo\"\u003e217g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terrier Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48317500817508,"sku":"9781472124500","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4869\/4628\/files\/IMG_92712.jpg?v=1777243246","url":"https:\/\/terrierbooks.com\/en-us\/products\/death-of-a-scriptwriter-mc-beaton","provider":"Terrier Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
