Humbug! leads to Homicide! in the new Grilled Cheese Mystery by Linda Reilly
Christmas in the close-knit community of Balsam Dell promises to be especially festive for Carly Hale this year when a prominent theater company comes to town to stage A Christmas Carol. But it turns out that Scrooge is not the most ill-tempered character in the production, as blowhard actor Prescott Lennon proves when he begins berating everyone else in the cast for their poor theatrics. When his arrogant behavior threatens the production, someone decides to resolve matters with a fatal solution—and frames Carly's friend Gina for the murder.
With such an unlikable victim, Carly finds herself faced with a long list of suspects, including a grieving widow who hasn't shed a tear, an ambitious understudy looking for his big break, and all the cast members Lennon mistreated. But there's a ghost of a clue in the air as rumors begin to surface that the dead man had a shady past that may have come back to haunt him. With her friend still on the hook, Carly will have to sort out past misdeeds from those of the present, even as her pursuit of the killer scares the dickens out of her...
