Stark psychological suspense and fatally funny twists make these twelve tales a stunning collection of mystery fiction. Here t he best-laid plans for the perfect crime go awry and ordinary people slip over the killing edge into dangerous obsessions. In "The Haunted Actess," a Charles Paris story, a grand dame of the theatre once again becomes a femme fatale. "Big Boy, Little Boy," an Edgar Award nominee, mixes devotion with a devilish scheme for doing a loved one in. And the title story, "Tickled to Death," uses a pie-in-the-face to make slapstick strike a lethal blow as Simon Brett creates yet another masterpiece of murder.
