Inherit the Shoes by E.J.Copperman
Sandy Moss is a New Jersey lawyer transplanted to LA. Patrick McNabb is a TV star accused of murdering his wife with a bow & arrow over James Cagney’s tap shoes. A cozy legal mystery with plenty of humor and twists. Better than you’d expect.
The prosecution says that Patrick’s motive for murdering his wife, Patsy, is that he wanted Jimmy’s shoes for sentimental reasons. Lucien DuPrez, Patsy’s business manager, says that Patsy wanted the shoes because she was broke. He testified to the level of her penury. ‘A million dollars,’ he repeated. ‘But that’s not as much as you think it is.’ Meanwhile, a couple of guys in baseball caps were trying to murder Sandy or Patrick. Every opportunity is taken to parody Hollywood and mysteries. Also, Sandy’s boss hates her. It delivers what it promises, a witty, cozy legal mystery.
