Publisher Description
From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes a laugh-out-loud new Merry Wrath mystery...
Merry Wrath's hometown of Who’s There, Iowa may be a nice, if quirky, place to live, but it’s also the murder capital of Iowa—a fact that’s somewhat known only regionally. But all that’s about to change, when a film crew with murder on its mind arrives in town to make a documentary. The team aren’t killers themselves, but they are a bit too eager that a death will happen around the murder-adjacent, ex-CIA agent turned Girl Scout Leader, Merry.
Only when a dead body finally does show up, Merry can’t get anyone in town to believe the man didn’t die of natural causes. It doesn’t help that the documentary’s focus on Detective Rex Ferguson’s 100% solve rate changes when a rumor starts that a major streaming studio is interested. Then every kook in town wants in on the action, and the film crew starts looking into some very fictional reenactments that include explosives.
Things get worse when an anonymous family member of the victim shows up to claim the body for immediate cremation, and Merry realizes that she’s running out of time to solve a murder...before everything blows up in her face.

Customer Reviews
Lights, Camera, Murder
A documentary team comes to town hoping for a murder while they are there. That might seem strange, but they are in Who's There and it's the most murdery town in the state. Much chaos ensues san Merry tries to figure out what exactly happened. A lot of twists and a lot of laughs. This was another great book in the series. I look forward to reading the next one.
