A crumbling old manor house with its own sinister folly.

A cast full of suspects with secrets to hide. And a killer waiting in the wings . . .

Retirement suits actress Rina Martin just fine. Until she’s tempted back for one last hurrah, reprising her role as sharp-witted TV sleuth Lydia Marchant. 

But Rina’s return to the spotlight soon turns deadly! 

Rina’s seen plenty of drama over the years. But nothing like the chaos she finds on location at Septon Hall. Her costar, the decidedly sour Grace Sweeting, gets a poison pen letter — in what looks like a tasteless prank. Until . . . 

Phil Perry, the show’s charming leading man, is found dead! Plunged in his neck is a glinting brooch, last seen on Grace’s stylish coat. 

Suddenly, everyone’s ready to point the finger at Grace. Only Rina has her doubts.  

Just because Grace is playing a murderess on TV that doesn’t make her one in real life. But if Grace didn’t do it, then who? 

It’s up to Rina to pin down the truth, before the devious killer strikes again! 

If you love Agatha Christie, Jeanne M. Dams, Glenda Young, Stella Cameron, M.C. Beaton and Frances Evesham, prepare to be hooked by this enchanting, character-driven mystery!
