A Riveting Amateur Sleuth Cozy Murder Mystery
by Avry Clarke
Under the spotlight, secrets unravel, and a killer takes center stage.
Bristol Heights’ beloved annual play promises high drama, but no one expects it to turn deadly. Moments before opening night begins, the lead actor dies during rehearsal, his final performance brutally cut short.
As the theater scrambles in shock, Emma Bradford is pulled into a web of rivalries, grudges, and backstage secrets. Every cast member and crew hand seems to be hiding something, from a jealous understudy to a director with a secret obsession.
When her friend and business partner, Tom, becomes a suspect, Emma must untangle lies, motives, and theatrical deceptions before the killer strikes again.
With help from her BFF, Tom, and trusty Basset, Jax, Emma navigates hidden tensions, backstage sabotage, and the local police Chief.
Can she stop the killer before her own curtain call?
