About this ebook
This Halloween, Rosemary Lillywhite and Detective Inspector Max Whittington are heading to a country castle for a weekend of autumn festivities—and to witness a murder.
At least, that’s the plan.
Vera Blackburn’s theatre troupe is hosting an elaborate murder mystery weekend, complete with dramatic performances, hidden clues, red herrings, and a cast of guests who are all pretending to be suspects. It’s meant to be nothing more than a bit of theatrical fun.
Until someone dies for real.
With panic spreading through the castle and the line between performance and reality dangerously blurred, Rosemary and Max find themselves working the same case from opposite angles. For once, they’ll have to investigate side by side—whether their theories align or not.
As secrets unravel and suspicion falls on nearly everyone in attendance, Rosemary must rely on her instincts to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.
But solving the case may not be the only challenge she faces.
With tensions running high and emotions pushed to the breaking point, Rosemary and Max must discover whether their budding romance can survive a murder at Halloween—or whether this case will be the final nail in the proverbial coffin.
A Homicide at Halloween is the eleventh book in the Mrs. Lillywhite Investigates series, a 1920s historical cozy mystery featuring amateur sleuthing, classic Golden Age intrigue, and light romantic tension.
