Murder on Opening Night
Myrtle Clover Cozy Mysteries | Book 9
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with an unstoppable senior protagonist who refuses to slow down — sharp, funny, and not about to let her police chief son tell her what to do. Light and funny even when there's murder involved.

Murder Steals the Spotlight.
When Myrtle Clover and her friend Miles attend a play in their small town, there’s a full house on opening night.
