Editorial Book Review For The Sitcom Murders 1 by

5 Stars: Dark Comedy About The Sexy Sixties!
This first installment of The Sitcom Murders is a dark
comedy about a sexy sixties TV character who suddenly realizes that her TV show
has become a horror story and she just might be the first victim.
Lacy Livingood, the TV heroine, is home alone when a madman
suddenly begins breaking down her kitchen door. Terrified by his hideous
stocking mask and threats of rape and murder, Lacy beats him off with a frying
pan, then rushes to her car and drives across LA to find the show’s writer.
She’s not sure what to expect, but aging screenwriter Billy Edelman explains it
all.
“Ya know, for a girl half the world thinks is brilliant,
you’re a little slow on the uptick,” Billy answered. “You and Johnny and Ronnie
are characters, in a sitcom, a very popular one fifty years ago. Look at this.”
And with that Edelman clicked a link and entered eBay. He typed in “Lacy
Livingood” and pages and pages of Lacy Livingood memorabilia confronted him:
autographed photos, scripts from the show, clothes she had worn.
“But our show’s not on anymore,” Lacy whispered.
“People’re always lookin’ for somethin’ fresh,” Billy
answered. “If not new characters, at least old characters in new stories. And
that’s what I’ve given them.”
“So now I’m the main character in a horror story,” Lacy said
at last. “Okay. But if I have to be in this show of yours, at least teach me
how to defend myself. You can do that much for me can’t you?”
And Billy could; in fact, he could help Lacy learn to enjoy
murder as much as his villains… but with dire consequences.
Author Nicholas Victor (aka Nick Iuppa) has given us
something never seen before, a TV sitcom character who actively conspires with
her show’s living writer to defeat the bad guys. There is a fine line between
reality and fiction, TV characters and real people, self-preservation and blood
lust. And sexy Lacy finds herself right at the crossroads of everything and
loving it.
If you enjoy dark humor, pick up a copy of The Sitcom
Murders I – SEXY SIXTIES SUBURBIA. I’m sure you will enjoy the read and find
yourself looking forward to the next installment. (A preview of The Sitcom
Murders II: SEVENTIES NEWSROOM is available as part of the first book).
I think you’ll find yourself as curious as I am about where
the author will go with this new series…and just who Lacy Livingood will murder
next.
