Synopsis
Jill Gardner—owner of Coffee, Books, and More in the tucked-away town of South Cove, California—is not particularly thrilled to be portraying a twenties flapper for the dinner theater murder mystery. Though it is for charity…
Of course everyone is expecting a “dead” body at the dress rehearsal…but this one isn’t acting! It turns out the main suspect is the late actor’s conniving girlfriend Sherry…who also happens to be the ex-wife of Jill’s main squeeze. Sherry is definitely a master manipulator…but is she a killer? Jill may discover the truth only when the curtain comes up on the final act…and by then, it may be far too late.
Review
Another great installment in this series. I think one of my favorite things about this series is that it is set in a small town on the CA coast near the ocean. What a great place to live! I like that there are a good set of regular characters but a few new ones are introduced with each book (otherwise how could there be a killer?!)
As with the others I did not guess who the killer was until it was revealed. I don’t think I even had any idea and while I wanted to pin it on a few characters, sadly they weren’t to blame..this time!
I like seeing Greg and Jill’s relationship continues to grow as they get to know each other and date more. I also like seeing the personal relationships of others also continue to grow…or tolerate each other.
We give this 4 paws up (and April & Gracie are still waiting on their playdate with Emma!)
