Death in a Gilded Frame
(2025)(The sixth book in the Sadie Stewart Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by L B Dayton
A glamorous dinner party. A forged masterpiece. And a killer with a real flair for drama.
When gallery owner and amateur sleuth Sadie Stewart scores an invitation to a murder mystery soirée high above the city hosted by famous film director Marion Shaw, she expects dramatic dialogues and diva antics, not a real corpse before curtain call.
But when a guest ends up truly dead and a suspiciously Klimt-like painting looks more fake than fine art, Sadie suspects the famous director is running more than just a bad script..
With forged art, phony alibis, and fame-fed egos swirling like camera flashes, Sadie plunges into a plot of deadly rewrites, double takes, and a chilling connection to her own estranged family.
With help from her best friend and gallery manager Daniel, a Hollywood-worthy disguise, and her dog that has better instincts than most critics, Sadie finds herself caught in the killer’s twisted plot as she comes dangerously close to becoming the next missing starlet.
Sadie must uncover the truth before her scene fades to black leaving her dead in the final frame.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
