When the cast and crew of a popular daytime soap opera begin dying under sinister circumstances, amateur sleuth Hilary Quayle and her bumbling partner Gene Coopersmith are thrust into a world where drama bleeds off the screen and into deadly reality. Set against the glitzy, backstabbing world of television production, The Soap Opera Slaughters is a wickedly entertaining mystery that channels the melodrama of its setting into genuine, page-turning suspense — where every actor is a suspect and every scene change could be a killer's next move. Marvin Kaye — a noted author, anthologist, and theatrical personality — brings a sharp wit and insider's eye to this entry in his Hilary Quayle mystery series, crafting a narrative that satirises the excess of soap opera culture while delivering a tightly plotted whodunit. Kaye's prose is brisk and knowing, seasoned with dark humour and a theatrical flair that keeps the tension as high as any afternoon cliffhanger. For readers who enjoy their mysteries served with a side of showbiz scandal, the final curtain here arrives with a twist that will leave them guessing long after the credits roll.
