Synopsis

A play about an internationally successful mystery novelist whose relatives wouldn't mind killing her to get their hands on her art collection. Other characters include a live-in doctor who was once the novelist's lover and a savvy Indian butler who uses words like "chutzpah". The badinage between the novelist and the butler and between the novelist and the doctor provides comic delight and relief from the mayhem being planned by the family.
