A Slight Case of Murder

Homicide. Seduction. Betrayal. The classics never go out of style.

A darkly comedic crime caper built on mistaken identities, blackmail, and tangled relationships in New York, where a film critic's accidental murder spirals into complications involving detectives, private investigators, and romantic entanglements.

In the midst of a spat, film critic Terry Thorpe accidentally kills his lover. Though Thorpe covers his tracks, he raises the suspicions of a private investigator, who then tries to blackmail him. Thorpe also falls under the watchful eye of Detective Fred Stapelli, a cop who is intent on becoming a screenwriter. Before long, Thorpe's girlfriend, Kit, and Stapelli's wife, Patricia, are roped into the case.
