Who Killed Blanche DuBois? (Claire Rawlings Mystery)

New York mystery editor Claire Rawlings spends her days scrutinizing the motives and methods of fictitious criminals—but her precocious 13 year-old friend Meredith Lawrence has a keen eye for the cold, hard facts of crime.

Claire's star author, the ferociously flirtatious Blanche Dubois, is found dead after eating a poisoned apple and there's no shortage of suspects. Many were jealous of her success, and many put off by her haughty, demanding demeanor.
