And why was Susan missing one of her shoes when her body was discovered? With the help of lawyer and Under Suspicionhost Alex Buckley, Laurie knows the case will make a great program, especially when the former suspects include Hollywood's elite and tech billionaires. The suspense and drama are perfect for the silver screen - but is Cinderella's murderer ready for a close-up?
