Last of Sheila. Slick but interesting. A murder mystery on a yacht. Don't even try to figure out the plot, which is convoluted almost beyond the limits of credibility.

Recently, during the shooting of an Underwood commercial, Mason showed his insight into the criminal mind in the great Cookie Caper. Consigned by his mother to a low-calorie diet, he conspired with Producer Dole to procure some cookies baked in the studio kitchen. Drawing a diagram of the studio, Mason plotted a path to the refrigerator. Between takes, while Dole distracted his mother, Mason sneaked along the prearranged route and snatched the cookies.
