A Brew of Blunders

Summer's heating up in Magnolia Grove, and the town's local theater is stealing the spotlight. Opening night of Murder by the Decades was supposed to be a triumph. Instead, it ends in real tragedy, and Parker Hayes finds herself once again pulled into a mystery with more twists than a pretzel at intermission. First, the cafe's AC gives out. Then her apartment flunks inspection. Now she's crashing with Nellie Pritchett, whose house rules are longer than a Broadway playbill. But when the historic theater is threatened with closure, Parker dives into the investigation, questioning dramatic divas, frazzled crew members and one suspiciously calm playwright. Because in this production, the drama isn't confined to the stage. A Brew of Blunders is a charming, clue-filled cozy mystery with theatrical flair, eccentric suspects and one feisty sleuth who won't let the curtain fall on justice.
