KILLER ON A HOT TIN ROOF

Book ID/图书代码： 14780010B38735

English Summary/英文概要： Delilah Dickinson is finally looking forward to a nice, relaxing time leading her literary travel agency’s latest tour at the annual Tennessee Williams Literary Festival in New Orleans. After all, a group of intelligent, low-key English professors can’t be too much trouble, right?

Wrong, as it turns out. These academics don’t waste any time showing their claws, especially when one of the professors claims he can prove Williams didn’t even write Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. But when the supposed real author--Howard Burleson, apparently once a very close friend of Tennessee’s--turns up dead, Delilah knows she’s got to get to the bottom of things. . .even if the truth is as dirty as all them lies!

But, Lord--the cast of suspects! Tamara Paige’s entire academic career will be ruined if it turns out that Williams wasn’t the actual playwright, and Delilah knows people have killed for much less. And it appears that someone else in the tour group is related to Burleson--someone who surely wouldn’t want the world to know that the supposed "author" based the scathing play on his own proud Southern family.

So between finding a murderer and all the steamy affairs, squabbling, and shouts of "Shut up! / No, you shut up!" Delilah is beginning to feel like a certain cat stuck on a certain roof. Plus there’s still a killer on the loose, and if she doesn’t act quickly she just may find herself starring. . .in her very own death scene!

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 迪莱亚•迪肯森最终期待一个不错的、放松时光在新奥尔良举办的年度田纳西威廉斯文学节上让她的文学社参加最新之旅。毕竟，一组智慧而低调的英语教授们不会惹太多麻烦，不是吗？
错了，事实证明答案截然相反。这些学者不浪费任何时间展现自己拳脚，尤其是当一位教授声称他能证明威廉姆斯甚至没有写过《在烫铁皮屋顶上的猫》这么一本书。但是，当众人认为的真正作者霍华德·伯利森——显然曾经是田纳西非常亲密的朋友——突然死了，黛利拉知道她有必要搞清楚事情真相，即使真相是肮脏的，所有人都在撒谎！
但是，上帝啊——嫌疑犯的演出者！如果事实证明威廉姆斯并不是真正的剧作家而黛利拉知道有人因为赚得很少而杀人，那么塔玛拉·派奇的整个学术生涯就会被葬送。似乎在访问团中有人与伯利森有关——一个不希望被其他人知道所谓“作者”是基于其自以为豪的南方家庭讽刺剧上。
因此，在寻找凶手和所有棘手的事情、争吵以及高声叫嚣“闭嘴！/不，你才闭嘴！”之间，黛利拉开始感觉像一只猫被困屋顶上一样。再加上还有一个杀手逍遥法外，如果她不迅速采取行动，她自己可能就会变成主角，在她自己的死亡现场！(兼职翻译-JDM)

Awards/获奖情况：沃什布恩轻松愉快、节奏轻舒适的第三次文学之旅(继2009年哈克贝利完结篇之后)带着亚特兰大之旅组织者黛利拉·狄金森到新奥尔良的法国区。黛利拉希望这是一次平静的旅行，一次与大学教授共赴田纳西威廉斯年度文学节的旅行，但很快就被被野心家们之间的混战和她的紧张沮丧情绪所挫败。同组人特别气愤地发现，成员之一野心勃勃的迈克尔·弗雷齐博士计划质疑同名小说著作权。当弗雷齐尔的神秘嘉宾，他带来的真正作者候选人和威廉姆斯的一夜情人被谋杀了，黛利拉再次戴上了她的侦探帽。沃什布恩的文学中植入的笑话和轻讽刺娱乐了学术界，但本书的主要特点是其真实、有血有肉的主角，虽然很多读者会在她之前弄清楚来龙去脉。(12月)”——选自《出版商周刊》
