Running Out of Time (A Dodie O’Dell Mystery)
by Suzanne Trauth
What a fun production! This has been my favorite of the series so far. Fast paced and kept me wanting to say I have to read one more chapter!
~Laura’s Interests
I always enjoy visiting the Windjammer and seeing what trouble the Etonville Little Theatre is cooking up. The antics of the actors and stage manager brings me back to the days when I was involved in theatre.
~Cozy Up With Kathy
Great new addition to this series. As the third book, the characters are well established and their personal lives are evolving nicely.
~Books a Plenty Book Reviews
Overall, I come to expect a great book when the latest Dodie mystery releases. They are charming, unique even in a cozy genre and come quick to the recall when recommending mysteries. This latest has left this reader eager for the next three books to arrive soon, and I will try to savor them, but I make no promises.

Restaurant manager Dodie O’Dell’s themed food ideas have been called cute, clever, and delicious, but never revolutionary—until now. Dodie’s Windjammer Restaurant is stocking the Etonville Little Theatre’s concession stand with colonial-era desserts and drinks: Swamp Yankee applesauce cake, pumpkin bread, hot cider punch, and mulled wine to complement the latest production. A local playwright has adapted Thornton Wilder’s Our Town into Eton Town, shifting the story to colonial America and the founding of Etonville, New Jersey, shortly after the Revolutionary War.
On opening night, hours before the curtain rises, Dodie runs into an agitated actress backstage with blood on her hands. Then a stranger is found among the chairs set for a graveyard scene with a knife in his chest. The show will not go on—the theatre is now a crime scene. Hoping to clear the red-handed suspect, Dodie returns to the role of amateur sleuth to mull over the clues and beat the backstage stabber to the punch—before someone else becomes history . . .

I see your photo is from Monclair, NJ. I lived there for many years. We were in an apartment on Main St, across from the movie theatre, above what was then a health food store.
I remember that health food store! I love Montclair…I live about 20 minutes from it now but still visit the restaurants there.
Sounds like a good mystery which I would like to read.
