Murder Most Unscripted
(2027)(The second book in the Cape Breton Murder Club Mystery series)
A novel by S R Chamberlain
One onstage murder mystery. Two real murder plots. And a killer who refuses to stick to the script.
Campbell Creek, Nova Scotia, has 8̶2̶0̶ 817 residents, three lighthouses, and a body count high enough to inspire a brand-new festival.
Maple, Music & Murder opens with a gloriously Canadian theatrical performance. Before the curtain falls, a pillar of the community is dead.
Officially, it's an accident. But the victim had been blackmailing Maris MacWhorter for 200 maple mousse truffles—and had dirt on nearly everyone in town.
Maris would rather stay quiet. Her ten-year-old daughter Bea, president of the Chocolate Shop Murder Club and the better detective by far, has other plans. Soon the Thursday regulars are on the case: a mystery moose suit, a local star with a townful of enemies, and evidence of not one murder attempt that night, but two.
The killer took one bow. Maris needs to make sure there isn't an encore.
Perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Janice Hallett—wickedly funny, full of politely unhelpful suspects, a democratically run murder club, and truffles that really are to die for.
Genre: Mystery
