An irresistible historical cozy series featuring Evelyn Galloway, Hollywood script supervisor turned sleuth!
1The list you'd die to be on . . .
March, 1940, and script supervisor Evelyn Galloway is enjoying being reunited with Alfred Hitchcock on his new film. Until twenty-three-year-old Phoebe Dillon, an aspiring actress hoping to be an extra in the movie, is found strangled in downtown L.A. Evelyn encountered Phoebe in the studio just hours before she died. Did she really have audition jitters as she claimed, or was she frightened of something-or someone?
When Evelyn learns that Phoebe attended a birthday party for film producer Monty Carpenter the previous weekend, rubbing shoulders with Hollywood's A-list, she quickly makes disturbing discoveries about some of the guests. It seems that powerful dark forces are at play in the film industry during war-and the reason for Phoebe's murder is more shocking than Evelyn could ever have imagined.
Effortlessly combining murder and glamor, the Evelyn Galloway mysteries are perfect for fans of Verity Bright and Nicola Upson's SHOT WITH CRIMSON.
