Watch out, Agatha Christie, Genevieve Ramsey is right behind you.

Ramsey is Fayette County's reigning queen of the murder mystery, after her "Million Dollar Murder," presented by Offshoot Productions, sold out every performance. She has penned eight murder mysteries and her newest one, "All That Glitters-Death Among The Diamonds," will be presented at First Presbyterian Church in Peachtree City Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

The story focuses on the premiere of an exciting jewelry collection. There will be many famous people present for the premiere, including Sheriff Dandy Griffin, Deputy Barnery Rife, Rush Bimbo and Brittany Steers. "Actors" will be selected at random from the audience, and will be prompted and encouraged to improvise when their characters are introduced. The audience will question the murder suspects and the one who solves the mystery will receive a murder mystery t-shirt.

Ramsey is the writer, producer and director of "All That Glitters." She began her acting career in 1991 when she performed in "Deadly Inquest" aboard the Vagabond Cruise Ship in Hilton head. In 1992, she formed her own group, The Pushcart Players, and has been creating her original murder mystery scripts since. She also has performed with Acting Up productions in Michigan on a murder mystery train.

Tickets to the show are $5 each, which includes dessert. Tickets may be purchased at First Presbyterian Church, 206 Willowbend Road, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or by calling 770-487-7757 or 770-253-9157.
