About This Book

Firebird Award Winner—Best Cozy Mystery!


No one's who they seem in the thrilling new Nick and Nora Mystery, and someone's playing the part of a clever killer . . .


When a nighttime soap opera comes to town to film an episode, no one's more excited than Nora Charles, who's landed the contract for catering the shoot. But if she thought the show's plotlines were full of drama and intrigue, that's nothing compared to what she witnesses among the cast and crew. With half of them sneaking off for secret liaisons one minute and at each other's throats the next, it's all a titillating behind-the-scenes look for Nora—until she stumbles across the body of the show's slain director.


It's not long before the local authorities finger the brother of Nora's good friend for the evil deed, and it's up to Nora and her sidekick Nick to get him off the hook. As she begins to sort out the cast's romantic entanglements and professional rivalries looking for a motive, she also discovers that the victim was involved in the mysterious death of the show's previous director. And then another member of the crew is found murdered, and Nora knows she'll have to act fast to figure out who's playing the part of the killer, before she's cast in the role of the next victim . . .



Includes scrumptious recipes!
