The Story
Murder at the Movies is set at the red carpet premiere of Cooking Up Trouble, the highly anticipated sequel to the box office smash hit Recipe for Death. Both films star the glamorous screen couple Nick Alexander and Joan Eastwick. They portray Basil and Lavender, husband and wife amateur sleuths with extra helpings of both money and sophistication mixed with a dash of mystery and a taste for adventure. Gossip columnists and fans delight in the tasty rumours that the on-screen couple also shares a romance off screen.
