<p class="null1">WHO DONE IT ON THAT BAD FRIDAY?</p>
<p>The mother of "idiot savant" twins was brutally murdered with her own kitchen knife on Good Friday, 1950. Alone with the body until its discovery on Easter Sunday, the retarded but gifted twins left their bloody fingerprints all over the Brooklyn apartment. If they didn't kill their mother forty years ago, who did?</p>
<p>Nominated for an Edgar, Lee Harris's <i>The Good Friday Murder</i> introduces a series of "holiday Whodunits". Just out of the convent, new suburban NY homeowner/college poetry teacher Christine Bennett finds out "Who".</p>
<p><i>The Good Friday Murder</i> is the first book of Lee Harris's popular "holiday" mystery series to be produced on tape. Actor/director Judith Roberts Seto's reading of the story gives new life to the novel's rich assortment of colorful characters from urban Brooklyn and suburban Westchester, NY.</p>
<p>These characters come in a wide variety of personalities and ethnic backgrounds -- the terrified but brave and caring young Polish baby-sitter who discovered the body, the coarse Brooklyn cop who withheld crucial information that might have exonerated the Talley twins of their mother's murder, the sweet little old Jewish lady harboring an ugly secret, and of course the desperate killer. This mystery provides suspense, romance, humor and highly charged drama.</p>
