The Trouble With Reality

Summer in the northwoods of Wisconsin is usually a time for vacations and relaxation in an idyllic setting. However, the mayor's wife Olivia has other plans. She convinced a new reality show to feature Athelstane in the first episode. Questionable talent, budding actresses and hopeful extras come out of the woodwork at every shoot. Ernie reluctantly agrees to serve as the liaison between the show and the townspeople, and spends much of her time trying to maintain some degree of order and defuse petty squabbles. But there's nothing petty about the murders that follow. As usual, Sheriff Howard is no help. So once again Ernie and Susie take on the investigation and find that reality can be fatal.
