Kirkus Review
for BROADCAST 4 MURDER
A neurotic Chiweenie displays real detective skills.
Sophie "Phee" Kimball is a
bookkeeper at a detective agency run by her boyfriend, Marshall Gregory, and
Nate Williams, old friends from Minnesota who’ve moved to the Phoenix area,
where Phee’s mother, Harriet, and her mystery-loving friends in Sun City West
have involved her in many a mystery. The agency is currently investigating a
perplexing case of inventory stolen from Home Products Plus that may draw on
Phee’s accounting skills.
When a sewing-show host takes time off from
Sun City West’s local radio station, Harriet and her pal Myrna Mittleson are
thrilled by the chance to do a live talk show. The highlight of their first
program on mystery novels turns out to be their on-air description of finding
the bloody corpse of program director Howard Buell, stabbed to death with a
pair of fancy scissors.
Nate and Marshall, who are often
called in as consultants by the short-staffed local police, soon join Phee and
Harriet’s gossipy network of friends on the case. A second murder suggests that
the motive is either love or money. At length Phee realizes that the pop-up
garage sales selling the stolen goods may be connected to the murders. In the
end, though, it’s Streetman, Harriet’s Chiweenie, who helps solve the crimes.
Fans who like their mysteries with a
healthy dose of humor will enjoy Eaton’s latest comedy of errors.
