Murder at Longbourn — Tracy Kiely

Gray skies, a winter chill and thoughts of murder put a lively spin on Elizabeth Parker's New Year's Eve at her aunt Winnie's Cape Cod B and B. But as guests arrive for the murder-mystery dinner party, so does tension. Everybody -- from the wealthy businessman, to the charming Brit, to the town gossip and her haughty cousin -- has something to hide. Fanning the fires, Elizabeth's childhood nemesis, Peter McGowan, is there to resume their endless sparring.

Still, the actors put on a stunning show of passion, jealousy and marital mayhem. But when the lights go out, a scream pierces the air, and the corpse on the floor isn't a fake. Gerald Ramsey, rich and ruthless, is now dead and a killer lurks among them. Can Elizabeth sort through the red herrings and odd clues to find the motive -- before murder takes center stage once more?
