Showstoppers is even more hilarious than Three Sisters, the first Emily Castle mystery.Poor Emily has been let go from her job due to the fact that it was a temporary situation. Not only that but the mailman has left a letter for her neighbor Victoria and Emily has to actually interact with her when she delivers the letter.When Emily takes the letter to Victoria, Emily becomes unwillingly involved in yet another mystery. Victoria has been receiving threatening letters due to a video she and an ex-boyfriend made in college. The letters threaten to shut down Showstoppers, a musical theater that Victoria runs. Victoria begs Emily to come work with her and try to figure out who sent the letters.Murder and mayhem again besiege Emily and friends. Dr. Muriel is back along with some new quirky characters. Poor Midori is sick, so she's not involved in this case.Plenty of action and hilarious dialog will keep you enthralled with this book. I was laughing at something every other page! It took me less than an hour to get through this one since it was so funny and fast paced.I really recommend both Emily Castle books to you if you like cozy mysteries. Even if you don't, the writing style and humor in them is enough to make them worth the read.
