Backstage Pass To Murder

A Wild Whodunit with Backstage Secrets and Small-Town Scandals

A gust of glamour, a dash of poison, and Carlyle Cove’s coziest café—ingredients for the perfect storm of scandal.
When Broadway star Veda Vale blows into town, cafe manager Kelsey Woods is stunned by how rattled her normally unshakable Aunt Clara becomes. The surprise? Veda is Clara’s estranged cousin—and the tension between them is thick as overwhipped meringue.
With sharp instincts and a growing taste for amateur sleuthing, Kelsey teams up with her mentor, retired detective Elinor, and Duke, a clue-obsessed Dachshund with a knack for sniffing out trouble.
But when Veda collapses on opening night, it’s curtains up on a murder investigation.
Rumors swirl about Aunt Clara as the suspects abound: Veda’s jealous ex-husband, her cute but cunning understudy, and her irate agent publicly fired and humiliated days before.
As secrets surface and Duke uncovers a critical clue, the trio must act fast.
Because if Kelsey doesn’t catch the killer soon, Aunt Clara’s life could be ruined and the next standing ovation may come with another body backstage.
