About this listen
Cece Caruso--mystery biographer extraordinaire, vintage clothing enthusiast, and part-time sleuth--is in freefall. First, she calls off her wedding, for reasons even she can't explain. Second, her newest biography (of Alfred Hitchcock) is way past deadline.
So Cece puts on a houndstooth suit with peplum and heads out to see Vertigo, only to come home with a cell phone belonging to a stranger named Anita Colby. Nothing if not a good citizen, Cece tries to return the cell phone--only to hear someone push Anita off a cliff.
Now a woman is dead, and Cece is under suspicion (tip: don't leave rambling, incoherent messages on someone's answering machine just before she gets murdered). To clear her name and put the real murderer in jail, Cece's going on the lam, where she'll encounter mysterious strangers, unhelpful strippers, a bottle of blond hair dye, and twists and turns so eerie it's as if Hitch himself were writing the script.

Story
Drue Campbell’s life is adrift. Out of a job and down on her luck, life doesn’t seem to be getting any better when her estranged father, Brice Campbell, a flamboyant personal injury attorney, shows up at her mother’s funeral after a 20-year absence. Worse, he’s remarried - to Drue’s eighth-grade frenemy, Wendy, now his office manager. And they’re offering her a job. It seems like the job from hell, but the offer is sweetened by the news of her inheritance - her grandparents’ beach bungalow in the sleepy town of Sunset Beach.

She reluctantly accepts to refurbish Birdsong, the old family place in Guthrie, Georgia. But, oh, is Dempsey in for a surprise. "Bird Droppings" would more aptly describe the moldering Pepto Bismol - pink dump. There's also a murderously grumpy old lady who has claimed squatter's rights and isn't moving out. Ever.

In the summer of 1986, two tragedies rocked Oklahoma City. Six movie-theater employees were killed in an armed robbery while one inexplicably survived. Then, a teenage girl vanished from the annual state fair. Neither crime was ever solved. Twenty-five years later, the reverberations of those unsolved cases quietly echo through survivors’ lives. A private investigator in Vegas, Wyatt’s latest inquiry takes him back to a past he’s tried to escape - and drags him deeper into the harrowing mystery of the movie house robbery that left six of his friends dead.

Editorial reviews
I appreciate mystery novels that feature a unique and unlikely sleuth. Although clever, charming Sherlock Holmes and clean-cut Nancy Drew are entertaining individuals, the woman at the center of the conflict in Dial H for Hitchcock is an absolute riot. Susan Kandel has created a sharp character that can’t seem to catch a break, and Dina Pearlman brings her witty sarcasm to life in her narration of this engrossing crime scene fiction.
Enter Cece Caruso. She writes biographies of famous mystery authors, and her latest assignment — a biography of the Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock — is far past deadline. To battle her writer’s block blues, she catches a matinee showing of Vertigo one afternoon. She leaves the theater with both renewed confidence and a mysterious hot pink cell phone belonging to a woman named Anita Colby. Shortly thereafter, Anita is pushed off a cliff, and Cece is a suspect in her murder.
Cece must get the heck out of dodge, as Anita’s murderer is doing everything possible to lead law enforcement to her. After exchanging a closetful of her vintage designer clothing for a wad of cash, she heads out of LA via Highway 1 in search of some sort of explanation of Anita’s demise. Pearlman guides us through a trail of clues to unravel a mystery that Hitchcock himself could have written.
Dial H for Hitchcock is simultaneously hysterical and suspenseful, and Cece’s sleuthing is best experienced through Pearlman’s voice. As Pearlman captures this audacious, spunky character, she also immerses the listener in the beguiling California landscape that plays an equally important role in the story. I felt like I was on the run with Cece, piecing together this “whodunit” mystery through her outrageous encounters. — Suzanne Day

Story
On the surface, these seven women are as different as can be - but each has had her share of bad luck, from cheating husbands to sexist colleagues to a legal system that often doesn't do its job. Now, drawn together by tragedy, they're forging a bond that will help them right the wrongs committed against them and discover an inner strength they didn't know they had. The Sisterhood is learning that when bad things happen, you can roll over and play dead...or you can get up fighting...

There are anonymous emails and threats, just as she learns Glenn has been released from prison.

Enjoyable Lite Fluff
A funny story! Many plot allusions to Hitchcock movies. Plot was very thin, but that's not really the point of the book of this nature. Narration was outstanding.

Frenetic and Disappointing
While I like the main character, the ending (solution) to the murder is disgusting. I felt I had been "had".

It will give you vertigo
Not as fun as other CiCi books. Helps if you’re familiar with Alfred Hitchcock’s films.
