Ex-spouses Paul and Polly Butler write murder mysteries together. They act out the crimes
in Paul's apartment: poisoned chocolates and lethal martinis alibis and fi ngerprints bodies
in a trunk and bodies all tied up daggers guns and even an axe all contribute to the
hilarity. Nobody gets hurt but their egos take some hits as they fi nd that their marriage was
mixed up with their work. There are many fast paced comic twists as they attempt to outdo
and surprise each other and they learn that marriage like murder is in the details. The fi -
nal witty complication is a real murder which they and the audience should have seen coming.
This murderously funny two-character comedy is by the author of Accommodations.
