"The oyster party had the kiss of death upon it, even though there were two 'R's in the month. Miriam Birdseye -- famed revue star and sleuth -- could have told you that from the start. She isn't a bit surprised to learn that her fiancé's mother died in the night. But who at the seedy Sussex hotel would have poisoned the bivalves? Could it be the hotel proprietor -- a handsome, drunken bankrupt? His put-upon wife? Miriam's impressively mustachioed fiancé? Or the menacing, unsavoury chef? Can Miriam Birdseye solve the appaling crime of murder by mollusk?"--Publisher.
