Jokers Wild (The Mah Jongg Mysteries)

The show must go on. That applies even to playwright Marianne Putnam, when the director of her one-act play, "Jokers Wild," fails to show for curtains up on opening night at the community theater in Serendipity Springs, Florida. When the director's wife begs Marianne to accompany her to their home to check on him, they find the man floating in his pool. Dead.Though not known for his pleasant disposition--her relationship with him had been tense since nearly ramming into his car in a parking lot, but after all, he was the director--who would have wanted to murder him? Surely no one in the production crew, cast or the staff of the community center where the play was to be staged. Maybe it was the wife, who Marianne had overheard arguing with him. Or perhaps someone from his theater connections back in the Big Apple.Since she was there when the body was discovered, Marianne is considered a suspect. That doesn't mean she can't help her three Mah Jongg friends--Syd, Micki and Kat--assist the sheriff with the investigation. But who's there to help her when her path crosses the murderer's.
