Description
From the coauthor of the âexcellentâ Mr. and Mrs. North series: Murder is no laughing matter, but NYC detective Nathan Shapiro has to grin and bear it (The New Yorker).
Nathan Shapiro might be the gloomiest member of Manhattanâs finest, but that doesnât stop the dour detective from getting the job done when the going gets tough . . .
When the discovery of Broadway actress Jennifer Singletonâs body makes the news, Det. Lt. Nathan Shapiro ends up involved in a case heâs not even assigned to. Shapiroâs wife, Rose, knows the only suspect and is convinced eighteen-year-old gardener Roy Baker couldnât possibly have anything to do with the murder.
Baker claims he was working in the garden before he stumbled upon his employerâs body and ran to find a policeman. But between his fleeing the crime scene, the money in his pocket, and the blood on his clothes, the NYPD thinks Baker is trying to lead them up the garden path.
Rose stubbornly insists that despite the evidence, Baker is just a shrinking violetânot a killerâand convinces Shapiro to dig deeper into the story. Now, armed with only his wifeâs hunch, Shapiro has to weed out the guilty from the innocent and determine who would want the prominent actress pushing up daisies.
Die Laughing is the 5th book in the Nathan Shapiro Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
