Murder in Arcady

Meer over het boek

Into the woods of Arcady step murder and farce, with faint echoes of poetry and classical music. This is the fourth Parker Daniels crime novel set in rural New England. There is a big difference, however. This is a comic world full of farcical figures like Alonzo the Arch Dude; puritanical Miss Prudence Appleseed, author of Satan with an Ice Cream Cone, starring Sexina Wantonley, a thinly-veiled portrait of her twin sister Miss Patience. There is also the Rev. Chuck of the Holy Astrology Church of Divine Guidance; Wazoo Annie Longstreet; and, of course, amorous Dr Phyllis Skypeck. Not to mention trigger guy Sweeney and his gunmoll; Buckshot Logan, chief of the Nonotucks, and the beautiful Native American Princess Tula Salome. One of them is going to wake up murdered.
