The Full Curtain Falls Mystery Series Collection
(2025)(A book in the Curtain Falls Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Maisy Marple
Step into the spotlight with theatrical sleuth Thea Martinelli in this complete six-book cozy mystery collection!
Welcome to Curtain Falls, where the drama isn't confined to the stage! When artistic director Theodora "Thea" Martinelli took over the historic Majestic Theater, she never imagined her director's eye for detail would make her the town's most unlikely detective. With her signature purple-streaked curls, dramatic eyeliner, and "war paint" red lipstick, Thea brings the same passion to solving murders as she does to directing classic plays.
This charming collection follows Thea through six theatrical seasons in Curtain Falls, a picturesque mountain town where Broadway careers come for their second act—and sometimes, their final curtain call.
In "Curtain Call for Murder," a visiting actor's death during Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" forces Thea to clear her name while saving opening night. "Death Takes a Bow" traps the company in the theater during a blizzard with a killer among them. "Murder in the Spotlight" brings deadly superstition to "Macbeth" when a wealthy patron meets a dramatic end. "Midsummer Murder" weaves fairy magic with costume design theft when a Broadway designer is found strangled. "Phantom Notes" strikes a deadly chord when a renowned music director is crushed beneath the chandelier during "The Phantom of the Opera." And finally, "Final Act" brings the series to its stunning conclusion as Thea's production of "Our Town" unveils long-buried secrets about Curtain Falls' theatrical past.
Join Thea and a colorful cast of recurring characters—from the methodical Detective Ben Cue with his secret passion for musicals to gruff set designer Marcus Stage and elegant former ballerina Violet Wing—as they navigate theatrical disasters, creative rivalries, stolen legacies, and deadly ambitions.
With snappy dialogue, charming humor, and just enough theatrical flair, the Curtain Falls Mystery Collection delivers six clean, clever mysteries perfect for fans of small-town sleuths and backstage intrigue. Each book intertwines a classic theatrical production with a contemporary murder, creating the perfect spotlight for Thea's unique detecting talents.
The curtain's rising on murder... will you take your seat for the show?
