A Poisonous Play (The Rebecca Orange Castle Cozy Mystery Series Book 7)
By Valerie Brandy
Poison, a play, and a murder to solve— can Rebecca solve a crime when the lines between theatrics and real life blur?
Now officially the Duchess of Atwood, Rebecca Orange thought her biggest post-wedding challenge would be choosing a worthy social cause. But when she throws her support behind the charmingly chaotic Atwood Village Playhouse, she doesn’t expect to end up starring in yet another murder investigation.
Opening night begins with applause and ends in disaster when one of the actors drinks from a stage prop… and collapses dead in the spotlight.
With her ever-faithful Tibetan Mastiff, Joe (now theater-obsessed and proudly sporting a top hat), Rebecca dives headfirst into the eccentric world of community theatre— where backstage rivalries simmer, the director may be just a touch too dramatic, and everyone seems to have a secret worth killing for.
With the help of castle-manager Maggie, an increasingly suspicious Officer Basilier, and a troop of actors who might be a little too good at pretending, Rebecca must solve the case before the final curtain call… or risk becoming the next act in a very deadly drama.
Because in Monrovia, the show must go on— even if someone dies trying.
Perfect for fans of village intrigue, backstage gossip, and cozy mysteries with a royal twist!
