Fern Valley Cozy Mystery Series
Good Morning.
First of all, I owe everyone an apology. My May 01 ("May Day") newsletter was completed, scheduled to send... then failed to send! Grrrr. And as I called up my newsletter software to prepare today's communication with you, I saw that last Friday's Newsletter never went out! OOPS! So this is the second email you will receive in as many days.
Again, my apologies!
Hope you enjoy the feature today! It's a good one. We also have a couple of honorable mentions for you today.
Now... let's hope THIS one goes out to you without incident. LOL
Love,
Ashley Hollow
Today's Feature:
Cue the Catastrophe
The chandelier was supposed to be a prop. The murder was not.
When retired English teacher Marnie Devlin loans vintage costumes to the Players Community Theater, she expects sawdust, slapstick, and a few weeks of good company. What she gets is a front-row seat to a very real death, the notoriously cruel director, dispatched by his own chandelier, in front of a laughing audience that thinks it's part of the show.
Armed with her official police consultant badge, her instinct for spotting what doesn't fit, and nine-pound Chihuahua Taco, who has never once been wrong about a person, Marnie assembles her team and starts pulling threads.
The scorned actress with a shattered engagement and a freshly padded bank account looks guilty. The silver-haired theater legend whose life's work was stolen looks guiltier. But as a second body surfaces and evidence turns up in Marnie's own boutique trunk, someone far closer is watching every move she makes.
Taco knew first. Marnie just has to catch up before the killer takes the final curtain call.
