Backstage Stuff — Sharon Fiffer

With a divorce looming, antiques picker and PI Jane Wheel is stuck in place, unsure what to do with herself. Luckily, her friend Tim Lowry has the answer. Not only does he have an estate sale to prep for, but he found an old play, a murder mystery, that he's dying to put on. The play would be just the thing, that is if it weren't cursed. Tim pushes forward in spite of ominous notes warning against a performance. It's only when the show's carpenter dies in a suspicious accident that Jane is convinced someone definitely doesn't want the show to go on and might be willing to kill to stop it.

Lively as ever, Backstage Stuff is as much fun for the mystery as it is for peeking behind the curtain to see all of the surprises that Jane has collected for the big show.
