Not wishing to join the international conflict, she books a ticket to Hollywood, trading the Louvre and the Vatican for the Brown Derby and La Brea tar pits.

The job is perfect, for no one knows murder like Miss Withers. On her first day at Mammoth Studios, the screenwriter in the next office dies of an apparent broken neck. To understand why, Miss Withers must contend with a film producer who makes her third graders look like grown-ups—and a killer every bit as vicious as Lizzie Borden herself. \u003ci\u003eThe Puzzle of the Happy Hooligan\u003c\/i\u003e is part of the Hildegarde Withers Mysteries series, which also includes \u003ci\u003eThe Penguin Pool Murder \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMurder on the Blackboard\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"MysteriousPress.com\/Open Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129939214576,"sku":"9781480418875","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781480418875_p0.jpg?v=1763619311","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781480418875","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
