Synopsis
Claire Malloy is back. And this time she is the reluctant director of the Miss Thurberfest beauty pagent in Farberville. She's being driven to distraction by the usual baton twirlers, off-key singers, lead-foot dancers and town hysteria, so she's hardly prepared when a sandbag crashes onstage barely missing the queen of the pagent, and a bullet pierces her open convertible. Murder is not far behind--and that starts Claire poking around where somebody doesn't want her to be--until she comes uncomfortably close to joining Farberville's recently deceased chilling out in the town morgue....

From Publishers Weekly
Claire Malloy makes her fourth, and this time unremarkable, appearance as amateur sleuth when a beauty pageant attracts a would-be murderer. Rehearsing contestants are shocked when a sandbag suddenly drops from a catwalk, barely missing the reigning queen's head. After a fall disables the pageant director, Malloy reluctantly takes over, finding it hard to fathom that anyone would want to kill Farberville's own Miss Thurberfest. Evidence mounts, however, as a shot is fired at the queen's car and her dressing-room space-heater is tampered with. Giddy contestants, a suspicious theater manager, an intrepid agent and a handsome master-of-ceremonies who is also a senator are several of the unsurprising suspects. A few good lines surface from the endless exclamations and adjectives, but for the most part this fiction cliche is for only the inveterate Hess ( Dear Miss Demeanor ) fan.
