Murder at the Curtain Call
(2026)(Book 18 in the Massachusetts Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Andrea Kress
The show must go on. Even if the leading lady doesn't.
The cast of a new comedy has just weeks to polish their drawing room production in Boston before it heads to Broadway. But behind the curtain, the real drama is far less amusing. A leading man and woman locked in a bitter divorce. An understudy who lost the role she was promised. A hungry young actor with his eye on stardom. And a quiet dispute over who truly wrote the play.
Then, during a rehearsal for the curtain call, a sandbag falls from the rigging above, and the leading lady never rises to take her final bow.
Was it a tragic accident, or did someone in this company have murder on their mind long before opening night? Amanda has a gift for reading people, and her husband Brendan, a police lieutenant, has a gift for reading evidence. Together they will have to peel back layer after layer of rehearsed charm to find the one performance that was never an act.
Because in this theater, everyone is playing a part, and one of them is a killer.
