Dial H for Hitchcock

A Cece Caruso Mystery

De: Susan Kandel

Narrado por: Dina Pearlman

Cece Caruso--mystery biographer extraordinaire, vintage clothing enthusiast, and part-time sleuth--is in freefall. First, she calls off her wedding, for reasons even she can't explain. Second, her newest biography (of Alfred Hitchcock) is way past deadline.

So Cece puts on a houndstooth suit with peplum and heads out to see Vertigo, only to come home with a cell phone belonging to a stranger named Anita Colby. Nothing if not a good citizen, Cece tries to return the cell phone--only to hear someone push Anita off a cliff.

Now a woman is dead, and Cece is under suspicion (tip: don't leave rambling, incoherent messages on someone's answering machine just before she gets murdered). To clear her name and put the real murderer in jail, Cece's going on the lam, where she'll encounter mysterious strangers, unhelpful strippers, a bottle of blond hair dye, and twists and turns so eerie it's as if Hitch himself were writing the script.

Enjoyable Lite Fluff

A funny story! Many plot allusions to Hitchcock movies. Plot was very thin, but that's not really the point of the book of this nature. Narration was outstanding.

Susan Kandel only wrote 5 Cici Caruso stories

Excellent, excellent, excellent!
I began reading the stories out of curiosity the first one I read was"Not your girl detective". From then on I was hooked

Frenetic and Disappointing

While I like the main character, the ending (solution) to the murder is disgusting. I felt I had been "had".

It will give you vertigo

Not as fun as other CiCi books. Helps if you’re familiar with Alfred Hitchcock’s films.
