c2014., General, House of Anansi Press Inc. Edition: eBook ed. Summary Note: "A delectable satirical novel about celebrity culture, journalism, truth, lies, consequences -- about the fictions we tell ourselves and the fictions we tell others. Augusta Price (not her real name) is famous in England for playing a slatternly barmaid on a nighttime soap opera and for falling down drunk in public. Now, she has no job, no relationship with her long-lost son, and a sad shortage of tranquilizers - but she has had an improbable hit with her memoir (which is based on a true story, but only very loosely). But when Frances Bleeker - an insecure and not very successful American tabloid journalist - tells Augusta that a man she once loved has written a book, Augusta becomes terrified that her life story will be revealed as the web of lies it really is. She sets out on a trans-Atlantic journey from London to California to seek revenge on her former lover - a journey that will require the reluctant help of Frances."--Publisher.

2023., Adult, HarperCollins Publishers Call No: MYS Fic Fer Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Miranda Abbott, once known for the crime-solving, karate-chopping church pastor she played on network television, has hit hard times. Miranda is facing ruin when a mysterious postcard arrives, summoning her to Happy Rock, a small town in the Pacific Northwest. But when she gets there, nothing is what she expected. In dire straits, she signs up for an amateur production at the Happy Rock Little Theatre. On opening night, one of the actors is murdered, live, in front of the audience. But no one actually saw what happened. Now everyone is under a cloud of suspicion. Clearly, the only way to solve this mystery is for Miranda to summon her skills as television's Pastor Fran and draw on the help of her new sidekick, Susan, a shy bookstore clerk who seems to know everyone's secrets. Because the show must go on!

After a very long dry spell that followed her network hit series Pastor Fran Investigates, Hollywood has come calling and wants Miranda back. This time she will be the female lead in an oddly expensive movie-of-the-week being filmed in Happy Rock. Miranda signs on the dotted line, but her trusty assistant, Andrew, a whiz with apps and clouds, thinks it all seems a bit fishy. Things get go from bad to worse when Miranda's co-star makes a grand entrance by crashing through the atrium window at the Duchess Hotel and being very much dead. The great citizens of Happy Rock--including police chief Ned Buckley, grumpy bookstore owner and soon-to-be ex-husband Edgar Abbott, Bea of Bea's B&B and the malodorous Owen McCune--return to help solve the case in this second Miranda Abbott mystery.
