A Murder at the Movies

A Secret Bookcase Mystery, Book 2

De: Ellie Alexander

Narrado por: Ellen Quay

When bookseller and events organizer Annie Murray invites the glamorous world of Hollywood along to her small-town film festival, she finds herself entangled in a sinister plot as twisted as any big-screen thriller…

After the success of her first event, which revived the fortunes of the bookstore she loves so dearly, Annie is excited to launch Redwood Grove’s first film festival. But when an infamous film critic plunges to his death during the premiere of a Hitchcock-inspired thriller, Annie’s instincts tell her that this was no accident. She soon discovers that many of the cast, crew, and guests are harboring dark secrets—from the lead actress with a scandalous past, to a film historian obsessed with protecting his vintage reel collection.

Determined to unravel the mystery, Annie must sift through a tangled web of hidden agendas and deception to expose the killer before they strike again. Can she crack the case and save her film festival—or will she find herself in the spotlight?

Packed full of plot twists and a colorful cast of characters, A Murder at the Movies sparkles with charm, heart, and humor and will keep cozy mystery fans guessing until the final word. Perfect fans for Lauren Elliott, Tonya Kappes, and Janet Evanovich.

Good series

I really love the narrator. She’s so easy to listen to. The storyline. Is cute. I would recommend it if you want an easy listen. That’s also entertaining. The only thing is Annie has a weak stomach. In this book she almost throws up every couple chapters. She needs some antacids. Handy

New spin on the “cozy library” mystery!

I enjoyed the mixture of many elements rather than the single direction many books take.

Good cozy mystery

Great cozy mystery. Both the author and the narrator kept me invested from the first chapter. With a number of twists and turns and a result I didn’t see coming, I was hooked. Cannot wait to read and or listen to more from this author.

Great series

I just discovered this series. Getting ready to listen to book 3. Really like the characters!

Interesting Charactets

I enjoyed the characters, they had depth. Good underlying plot beyond the current murder. Narrator is easy to listen to.
