Sweet Tea and Suspects: Book 5 of the Small Town Girl Mysteries
By Jann Franklin
The curtain rises. The lead actor drops dead. In Graisseville, theater’s never just pretend.
When the community theater stages Death of a Salesman, no one expects method acting to go quite this far. Daniel Sullivan—leading man and certified menace—is found dead mid-rehearsal. With local darling Jen Guidry behind bars and half the cast nursing a grudge, Evangeline Delafose and her PI partner Shorty take center stage to solve the case.
From egos to understudies, the suspects are lining up faster than auditions at a church potluck. Was it the ambitious ingenue, the short-fused director, or someone with a flair for the dramatic and a motive backstage?
Book five of the Small-Town Girl Mystery Series is a clean, faith-friendly cozy that delivers:
-
A murder mystery wrapped in theater drama
-
A Southern sleuth team with charm, grit, and a nose for mischief
-
Quirky suspects and gossip thicker than stage makeup
-
No profanity, graphic scenes, or steamy content
-
Wholesome fun with a side of sweet tea and sass
The show must go on—and Ev’s determined the killer won’t get an encore.
