Synopsis
When we left him at the end of Soon to be a Major Motion Picture, struggling screenwriter Mitchell Draper was happy to have escaped with his life from his last assignment. But that doesn't stop him from digging into a 20-year-old murder-suicide as meat for a new screenplay that might net him $800,000 from a sexy movie producer who seems just as interested in Mitchell as in his story. Once again, novelist Warren Dunford has created a hilariously satirical study of celebrity culture that pokes good-natured fun both at the insiders and those on the outside desperate to get in.

Review
Toronto screenwriter Mitchell Draper is down on his luck. He's lost his lackluster job on the kids' show Five Fun Fish, and has a month to wait until his next depressing writing gig begins. In the meantime, he plans to churn out a blockbuster screenplay with all the right elements: sex, violence, money, celebrities, and the supernatural. How fitting, then, that a series of disconcerting visions leads him to the heart of a celebrity murder-suicide of the 1970s that took place in the mansion where his friend Ramir is being drawn into a new religion founded by the charismatic Dr. Bhandari. Surrounded by aging socialites, actors, artists, psychics, and cult leaders, it's hard for Mitchell to tell what's real. But the power of his visions--and the offer of a six-figure contract from a tall, dark, and handsome movie executive--encourages him to find the real culprit behind the long-ago deaths. Witty and well-plotted, with sharply defined characters, Making a Killing is a worthy sequel to the first in this mystery series, Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture. --Regina Marler
