About this listen

Join Cassie Gwynne - bookworm, cat lover, and super sleuth - as she gets herself entangled in a brand-new murder mystery!

America 1883: Cassie Gwynne feels like she’s finally found where she belongs, settling into her new life in Florida with her aunt and her mischievous kitten, Esy. When a traveling theater group arrives in town, Cassie can’t resist signing up for the chorus. But the production goes awry from the start, and soon death takes center stage....

With costumes going missing and strange voices heard coming from the dressing room, the cast is convinced they are cursed. And when the lead actor, William Gage, has a fatal accident, Cassie is certain someone is deliberately targeting the play. Off-stage Mr. Gage was known as a notorious flirt, so could a jilted lover be out for revenge?

Determined that the show must go on, Cassie launches her own investigation into the peculiar events. She quickly discovers an expensive, embroidered handkerchief stashed away on the lighting platform. This part of the theater is supposed to be out of bounds, so could the cagey chorus girl or the uppity understudy have something to hide?

When she returns at night to look around, Cassie is almost flattened as the wooden scenery crashes to the stage. Is this just the latest in a long line of catastrophes, or is somebody out to stop Cassie learning the truth?

Can Cassie solve the mystery and make it to opening night, or will it be curtains for her too?

Perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn, C.J. Archer, and Verity Bright! This is a totally charming cozy mystery full of murder, intrigue, and a cast of characters you’ll adore.

Delightful!

The clever and likable Miss Cassie Gwynne is back, in a mystery packed with interesting and appealing characters. the pace is just right, the story is engaging and fun, and the narration hits just the right notes all along the way. Genevieve Essig is fast becoming my favorite new "cozy mystery" writer. More, please!

I loved it!

I think I enjoyed this book, as much as the first in the series. Both held my interest and we're smooth reads.
