by Elizabeth J. Duncan
The interaction between the players, all the characters involved, and the fast changes happening setting the theatre world on edge keep you turning pages, unsure who can be trusted and what anyone’s motives may be.
~Laura’s Interests
This is just an excellent story in every way. With solid writing, an atmospheric feel, and appealing characters, I was entertained way into the night.
~The Power of Words
The blend of murder, the play, and all the character interactions blend into a really wonderful cozy mystery that I highly recommend to fans of the genre.

I thought the mysteries were done well with just enough red herrings to keep me guessing. . . The setting, the people, the mystery – all were engaging and interesting and I had a fun time.
~Bea’s Book Nook
The writing was superb and the plot was well though out. I enjoy the returning characters in this series as they are well rounded and very likable. . .

Costume designer Charlotte Fairfax has another murder on her hands as she prepares for the latest performance of the Catskills Shakespeare Theater Company, Much Ado About Nothing. The company’s steady growth enables them to cast star British actress Audrey Ashley, who arrives on scene to play the lead role of Beatrice. But things immediately get more complicated when Audrey insists the company replace the current director with new, up and coming British director Edmund Albright.
Edmund plans to change the popular romantic comedy, which alienates several people associated with the production. And the list of people he upsets only grows: the laid off former director, the hotel owner’s secretary, and even Audrey herself. Just as Edmund’s plans are about to come to fruition, his body is discovered on his sofa, holding a gun in his hand. His death is quickly ruled a suicide but Charlotte thinks otherwise. Why would Edmund, on the brink of greatness, kill himself? And in such an American way?
With a whole cast of characters to investigate, Charlotte is determined to unmask each one before it’s final curtain call on the whole production in award-winning author Elizabeth J. Duncan’s third Shakespeare in the Catskills mystery, Much Ado About Murder
