Murder Murder in the Wings

The Shepton Rise Murders Series

In the idyllic English town of Shepton Rise, drama is a way of life for Ginny Fellows—but usually, it stays on stage. As a theatrical agent for the Dead Actors, a lively troupe of performers known for their memorable on-screen demises, Ginny is well-versed in the art of make-believe. But when a real-life murder darkens the curtains of Shepton Rise, Ginny must take centre stage as an unlikely sleuth.

Her investigation draws her into the world of the local amateur dramatics society, a hotbed of rivalries, secrets, and larger-than-life egos. The plot thickens as Ginny discovers that almost anyone in the group might have had a motive for murder. Yet Ginny has her own challenges to face—crippling panic attacks make it nearly impossible for her to leave the safety of her home.

With the steadfast support of her eccentric clients, the Dead Actors, and her devoted friend Adam, Ginny must summon the courage to step into the spotlight and untangle a web of lies and deception.

A delightful whodunit brimming with wit, charm, and theatrical flair, Murder in the Wings is a cozy mystery that proves all the world’s a stage—and the stakes have never been higher.
