Takes a different approach to mystery as a ghost tries to find out who murdered her in a witty
sophisticated
yet suspenseful look at the upper crust of Hollywood. The curtain rises to find Jane
Oscar winning screen writer
dead at the bottom of the stairs in a Vermont ski lodge. Her four friends and husband are saying she fell. 'I was pushed!' she says as her ghost rises. Aided by Kitty
a rather wanton adviser from 'up there ' Jane is brought ahead to the present
three years after the murder
where the same group is gathered. They are all famous film makers with an intense hate love relationship; Janes husband who has married an ambitious ingenue
a heading for middle age leading lady
an arrogant director
and Hollywoods reigning gossip columnist. The five suspects join together to keep the possible murder quiet for reasons of their own but their relationship busts apart with their mutual distrust. Woven through the suspense in humorous
acidic
and revealing comedy is an extraordinary whodunit with a surprise denouement when the murderer is revealed. All the roles are lengthy with well defined characters. For the unusual and audience pleasing combination of comedy
intrigue
and suspense
this is a must!
