New Release! A DEATHLY DISPLAY
Can Maddie’s sleuthing save her sister from a deadly encore?
Maddie and her sidekick Herb are just trying to survive a snooty curation class at the Domus Vinea museum. But then Maddie’s opera-diva sister, Melanie, trips over the museum director’s body. Suddenly, the vibe’s less “classy art seminar” and more “murder most melodramatic.” With a sneaky killer eyeing Melanie for the next curtain call, if Maddie can’t solve this mystery, Melanie’s next aria could be her last.
Maddie and her quirky crew must bumble through a lineup of suspects, including a swoon-worthy vintner whose haunted painting hides a chilling secret—and whose charm might just steal Maddie’s heart.
Grab A Deathly Display and start reading this hilarious whodunit today!
