The Phrase "Dying On Stage" Takes on a Whole New Meaning

"This new cozy series will keep you guessing until the very end!" - Storeybook Reviews

After fleeing a failed relationship in New York, actress Leah Sexton finds herself as the new Executive Director of the Como Lake Players-a small community theater nestled in a sleepy St. Paul neighborhood. The initial calm of this new position is shattered immediately when a local critic-who had just panned the theater's latest production-is found murdered on the show's set.

On the heels of this grisly discovery, the show's lead actress tumbles down a flight of stairs-or was she pushed? To keep the show running and the theater afloat, Leah offers to step into the leading role. The arrival of her ex-boyfriend amid anonymous threats against her and the show require Leah to act as if her life depends on it. Because it does.
