How to Crash a Killer Bash — Penny Warner

Mixing fun and fund-raising seems like the perfect job for Presley Parker, which is why she starts her event-planning business to raise money for charities. But then she hosts a murder mystery party, and there's some serious foul play ...

The de Young Museum in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park is throwing a murder mystery party to raise money, and the notorious yet benevolent philanthropist Mary Lee Miller wants Presley to host it. Though Presley is surrounded by breathtaking artwork, it's a heated squabble between Mary Lee and her son, Corbin, that catches her attention.

Guests arrive to a grand murder mystery setting, eager for the performance. But the good times end when Mary Lee, who was playing the role of the victim, is found dead -- and Delicia, Presley's friend and Corbin's girlfriend, is the key suspect. Frantic to clear her friend's name, Presley kicks her sleuthing into high gear...only to find that someone wants this life of the party dead.
