Murder Sets The Stage

Rooftop Garden Cozy Mysteries, Book 2

By: Thea Cambert

Narrated by: Amanda Ronconi

Nothing puts a damper on the holiday spirit . . .

Quite like a murder.

It's holiday festival time in picturesque Blue Valley, Tennessee, which means there'll be plenty of fun, and an onslaught of tourists coming to town. This year, Paper Owl owner and amateur sleuth Alice Maguire is helping out with organizing the Hometown Holidays Festival.

The festival features a week chock full of activities, beginning with the Bowl Full of Jelly 5k Fun Run, and leading into the Mistletoe Market, the Winter Wonderland, and the annual Tinsel Theater's production of A Christmas Carol.

Main Street is decorated to the nines, and the rooftop garden that Alice shares with her fellow sleuthers is cozier than ever. Franny will be whipping up plenty of hot chocolate, and Alice's budding romance with Luke Evans is going smoothly.

Life is good in the quaint little town, and it's shaping up to be a perfectly wonderful holiday, but when a body is discovered at the 5K, it'll be up to Alice, Owen, and Franny to make sure that Blue Valley's Hometown Holidays Festival gets back on track—and that means they'll have to catch a murderer.

Will they catch the killer and save the festival?

I really enjoyed it

I’ve been really enjoying the books so far. I love how we now have characters to fall in love with and how the main character is not annoying at all like in some books the side characters are more entertaining then the main character but this book you love them all and want to be apart of that friend group. I really enjoyed the first two books so far.
