title: A Good Knife's Work (Five Star First Edition Mystery)
author:  Sheila York 
description: Set in New York City in 1946, York's snappy second Lauren Atwill puzzler (after 2003's <i>Starstruck Dead</i>) will appeal to readers nostalgic for the golden age of radio. Lauren, a Hollywood screenwriter, and PI Peter Winslow, her gorgeous bodyguard and lover, flee California for New York, where they become involved in investigating the murder of Hazel Keane, the producer of <i>Adam Drake, for Hire</i>, a popular radio mystery series. Lauren goes undercover as a writer for the show under a pseudonym, while the victim's insurance company hires Peter. They soon uncover a host of suspects, including Hazel's estranged director husband, her lover, and her two brothers. Filled with fascinating details about old-time radio production, this crime caper is as much fun as a good game of Clue. <i>(Jan.)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
