For two moms and one true-crime novelist who make up the Mandrake Murder Club, it s fun and games consulting for Paige Turner s podcast, If It s Monday, It Must Be Murder! But when Mandrake Apartment s mean-spirited landlord actually winds up dead, there s only one conclusion... it must be murder! Neighbors become suspects and home becomes a danger zone as the foursome plus two squabbling teens dive into dark corners of the crime.

Motives and mystery abound in this classic whodunit inspired by modern true-crime serio-comedies. Is it the landlord s girlfriend, Fern, who harbors secrets about who she really is? Or reporter Scotti, itching for a story she can sink her teeth into? Maybe the disgruntled and overworked janitor? Or the French chef husband and his wife, who are about to lose their apartment if they don t ditch their beloved cat? Surely it couldn t be dashing trust-fund baby Jonathan from the penthouse apartment! But if he s not guilty, why does he mysteriously vanish after the murder?

When clues dry up and leads run cold, the desperate Mandrake Murder Club devises a clever trap to ferret out the murderous weasel and free an innocent suspect. But could it be one of their own?
