Frank and Sarah Malloy are getting ready to legally adopt little Catherine when their attorney tells them there is a problem. Catherine's stepfather, Actor Vaughn Parnell, must relinquish his rights to Catherine. Frank and Sarah visit Parnell at the theater where he is performing. He is willing to sign the paperwork, but his fiancée requests that they pay a fee for his signature. The next day Frank returns to the theater with the money to get Parnell's signature, only to find him bludgeoned to death. The police believe Frank may have killed Vaughn and arrest him. Frank and Sarah vow to find out who really killed Parnell and clear Frank's name.

This was a humorous addition to the Gaslight Mysteries. There were several conversations that I found amusing. There were only a handful of suspects. I guessed the killer very quickly, but still found the story entertaining. My rating: 4 Stars.
