Murder Takes Center Stage
The show must go on… unless the killer has other plans.
When a charming traveling theater troupe arrives in Wheatfield to perform Baker Street, the small town is buzzing. But opening night ends in tragedy when Brad Evans—the actor playing Holmes—is found dead in his dressing room.
Librarian-turned-sleuth Maggie Nelson and her terrier Watson dive into the mystery. The suspects? Veronica, the glamorous leading lady with a flair for drama, and Jonah, the brooding Inspector Vale, whose past may be more sinister than scripted.
With a gossipy best friend, a grumpy sheriff, and small-town secrets piling up, Maggie must untangle the clues before the curtain falls again.
Lights up, masks on, and trust no one—because in this play, someone’s dying for the spotlight.
Genre: Mystery
