In the season opener, titled “To Dye For,” a wealthy socialite dies amid suspicious circumstances, leaving her entire fortune to… her cat. To uncover the truth, Alexa investigates a world of high society gossip and hostile hair stylists.

In the second episode, “Tough Love,” Alexa investigates the death of a tennis coach, knowing that a glamorous rival is determined to solve the case before her. Watch a sneak peek above, in which Alexa and Madison (Ebony Vagulans) test out the murder weapon — a tennis ball machine!

All told in My Life Is Murder‘s eight-episode Season 4, “Alexa is bringing her friends and family along for the ride,” says the official synopsis.

Brother Will (Martin Henderson) is staying close…. Detective Harry (Rawiri Jobe) has Alexa’s back…. And cranky cat Chowder can’t help complicating everything.”
