Cue the Catastrophe
(2026)(The fifth book in the Marnie Devlin Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Sloane Foster
The chandelier was supposed to be a prop. The murder was not.
When retired English teacher Marnie Devlin loans vintage costumes to the Players Community Theater, she expects sawdust, slapstick, and a few weeks of good company. What she gets is a front-row seat to a very real death, the notoriously cruel director, dispatched by his own chandelier, in front of a laughing audience that thinks it's part of the show.
Armed with her official police consultant badge, her instinct for spotting what doesn't fit, and nine-pound Chihuahua Taco, who has never once been wrong about a person, Marnie assembles her team and starts pulling threads.
The scorned actress with a shattered engagement and a freshly padded bank account looks guilty. The silver-haired theater legend whose life's work was stolen looks guiltier. But as a second body surfaces and evidence turns up in Marnie's own boutique trunk, someone far closer is watching every move she makes.
Taco knew first. Marnie just has to catch up before the killer takes the final curtain call.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
