New England’s sexagenarian sleuths are back to solve a reality-show murder in this “fast-paced mystery with two unforgettable leading ladies” (Booklist Online). Desperate TV producer Barry Stromstein’s career depends on his latest brainstorm: “Antiques Roadshow meets The Hunger Games on the set of Gilmore Girls.” When he enlists Connecticut antiques columnist Lil Campbell for help, he unexpectedly hits pay dirt. Lil’s irrepressibly charming partner Ada Strauss is the perfect woman to host it. Now, making it a success is all in the execution . . . until Barry’s impossible-to-please boss, Lenore Parks, is gunned down in her dressing room. Who’d want to kill television’s most powerful and popular lifestyle guru? Her wild-child daughter? Her practically perfect son? Try anyone who ever suffered Lenore’s wrath. To narrow down a growing network of suspects, Lil and Ada go behind the scenes to dig into the superstar’s private life. And for a woman as beautiful as Lenore, her secrets are very ugly. And for Lil and Ada, very dangerous.

Synopsis: A group of suburban neighbors are strangers to each other until an alien space ship crashes into their back yards. After its arrival, they get to know each other a lot better, and faster, than they ever expected (or wanted). "Distant Neighbors" is a space-age love story about loneliness and longing, and the barriers we set up between us. It looks at the possibility for wonder, not just at the skies and the universe and the thought of unknown life forms, but also at the person living right next door. Cast Size: 3 Males, 2 Females
