An A-List for Murder
by Amy Patricia Meade

An irresistible 1940s cozy featuring Evelyn Galloway, Hollywood script supervisor turned sleuth!

1940, L.A. Evelyn Galloway is hard at work as script supervisor on the next Alfred Hitchcock film when twenty-three-year-old Phoebe Dillon, an aspiring actress and extra on the film, is found stabbed to death in an empty lot in downtown Los Angeles. Evelyn had encountered a rattled Pheobe the morning of her last day on set. Did she have pre-performance jitters as she claimed, or was she frightened of something or someone? And what did she mean by ‘secrets’ that needed to be kept?

Upon hearing that Phoebe was having an affair with a Hollywood producer, Evelyn alerts her friend, Detective Ziegler of the Los Angeles Police Department. Phoebe was at a yacht party attended by Hollywood’s A-list the weekend prior to her murder. Everyone on the yacht ‘s A-List had something to hide, but which secret led to murder?

A gripping historical cozy featuring obsession, power, murder, and glamor! Perfect for fans of Verity Bright and Nicola Upson’s SHOT WITH CRIMSON.
