Murder at the Party

A centennial celebration, a deadly toast, and a past that won’t stay buried…

Alice Monroe is juggling streamers, champagne flutes, and last-minute jitters as she plans Sun Harbor’s biggest event yet: beloved community fixture Mrs. Joyce Patterson’s hundredth birthday bash at Sunrise Community Center. But when a celebrity biographer arrives in town, long-buried whispers resurface—about old Hollywood scandals, a missing husband, and a notorious jewel heist that was never solved.

The party is barely underway when the biographer collapses mid-toast, poisoned before the cake is even cut. With a hundred guests in attendance and champagne flowing freely, suspicion falls on everyone—from estranged relatives and mysterious Hollywood acquaintances to longtime locals guarding secrets of their own.

As police swarm Sunrise and Mrs. Patterson becomes the center of a growing scandal, Alice must dig into a century’s worth of lies to uncover the truth. What really happened in Mrs. Patterson’s past—and how far will someone go to keep it buried?
