English professor Lila Maclean knew drama would be involved when she agreed to consult on Stonedale University’s production of Puzzled: The Musical.
But she didn’t expect to find herself cast into such chaos: the incomprehensible play is a disaster, the crumbling theater appears to be haunted, and, before long, murder takes center stage.
The show must go on—yet as they speed toward opening night, it becomes clear that other members of the company may be targeted as well. Lila searches for answers while contending with a tenacious historical society, an eccentric playwright, an unsettling psychic, an enigmatic apparition, and a paranormal search squad.
With all of this in play, will she be able to identify who killed her colleague…or will it soon be curtains for Lila too?
Praise for The Spirit in Question (A Lila Maclean Academic Mystery)
by Cynthia Kuhn
I LOVED this cozy mystery! It’s so well-written, the mysteries are multiple (present and past), there’s a paranormal element, strong human emotions, gentle romance.
~Mallory Heart’s Cozies
This was a fun cozy with a little something for everyone. A bit of mystery, a bit of the paranormal, a little humor, and even some romance thrown in for good measure . . . I thoroughly enjoyed the story.
~The Book’s the Thing
In The Spirit in Question, author Cynthia Kuhn has woven an eccentric cast of characters and humorous scenes into an entertaining madcap read.
~Book Club Librarian
I thought the theatre aspect to the mystery was neat, it was a mystery itself and Lila worked hard. But it was the cast of characters that accompanied Lila in this mystery that really drew me in.
~Bibliophile Reviews
I enjoyed the style of writing. The author writes in a clean and smart way I appreciated . . . I loved that this had a supernatural feel to it, but not in an overt way where it overpowered the rest of the story . . .
~A Cozy Experience
