Murder Movie
was published in 1990. The first U.S. Edition was published in January 1991.
This blog started out as Michael Doherty's Personal Library, containing reviews of books that normally don't get reviewed: basically adult and cult books. It was all just a bit of fun, you understand. But when I embarked on a three-year Shakespeare study, Shakespeare basically took over, which is a good thing.

Shakespeare Reference in Murder Movie
Jill McGown’s mystery novel Murder Movie contains a Shakespeare reference. Two police officers
are discussing the case, which involves the cast and crew of a movie that is
being shot. Patterson, the higher-ranking police officer, is speaking about
Barbara Slaney, one of the actors. McGown writes: “‘She gets involved in some
sleazy club act, and drifts into acting.’ He smiled. ‘I expect if you can make
the punters think you’re enjoying it, you can play Lady Macbeth any day’” (p.
160).
