Reels spinning. Tempers flaring. Murder steals the spotlight.
Tessa Caldwell imagined her cozy seaside B&B hosting a charming film-society fundraiser—five-star coastal food, classic movie, perfect evening. Instead, during the showing of Wait Until Dark, abrasive realtor Paula Mapes is discovered dead in her seat.
Police mumble ‘random violence.’
Gossip blames Tessa for hosting the event
Instead, clues suggest Paula knew something someone wanted buried.
Now cancellations are rolling in, and Tessa’s fledgling reputation may hit the cutting room floor.
Amid humorous antics, with the help of Marmalade, who enthusiastically investigates every unattended snack, her crusty neighbor Henry, and friends Mira and Cal, Tessa starts piecing together the truth. The suspects are as plentiful as frames in a film reel, including:
Irwin Fontaine, the pompous film buff who sparred with the victim just before showtime.
Jeff Lindale, the ‘family man’ who may have been paying Paula to keep quiet.
It’s a race to the final frame. To save her B&B—and herself—Tessa has to stop the killer before the credits roll.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
