A Star-Studded Music Festival on the Carmel Coast Turns Deadly…

Event planner Ivy Schaeffer is no stranger to high-energy celebrations, but when she’s hired to organize Carmel’s first coastal music festival, she expects music and sunshine—not murder.

Beneath the rhythm and revelry, tensions simmer among the headline band, but no one is prepared when Gus—the arrogant and universally disliked lead singer—is shot dead under the cover of a dazzling fireworks finale. The new detective wants Ivy far from the case, but her detective boyfriend quietly enlists her help.

With her sharp-witted partner Phyllis and ever-observant feline sidekick Fable, Ivy dives into a tangled web of grudges, secrets, and long-held vendettas.

Could the killer be Gus’s embittered ex-manager? The obsessive president of his online hate club? Or someone else hiding among the five hundred festivalgoers?

As Ivy pieces together cryptic notes, backstage tensions, and a chilling threat buried in the noise, she realizes this wasn’t an impulsive act—it was planned. And if she’s not careful, the next song Carmel hears could be a funeral dirge.
