Synopsis

At a wedding reception on the opening night of the QueenCon mystery conference in Cincinnati, Jeff Cody and his wife, Lynda, hear a chilling question: “Where do we hide the body?” The words are whispered, yet no one nearby appears to have spoken them, leaving an unsettling puzzle in the middle of what should be a celebratory weekend.

Sebastian McCabe, Jeff’s brother-in-law and a mystery writer with a taste for amateur detection, offers a plausible explanation at first. When a murder follows, however, his usual freewheeling approach is complicated by a homicide captain who has been his enemy since childhood, pushing Jeff and Lynda into the legwork as the case takes shape. The novel is described as combining humour, bright writing and memorable characterisation, and includes praise from Bonnie MacBird, who calls Andriacco “a master of mystery plotting”.
