Itâs the star-studded event of the season in Silvercrest, Coloradoâbut some of the guests might not make it to the last dance alive in the second charming installment of the Starlit Bookshop mysteries from Agatha Award-winning author Cynthia Kuhn.
Nestled on the banks of a breathtaking Rocky Mountain river and dotted with delightful boutiques and galleries, Silvercrest, Colorado, is a book loverâs paradise. Bookseller and literary event planner Emma Starrs is looking forward to attending the annual Silvercrest Library Gala, a glamorous evening with celebrities including the legendary Whitney Willton, currently on the hit crime show Chasers, and her niece, party-planner-to-the-stars Lyra Willton. Gala Week is full of exciting activities honoring both page and screen, and library board president Tabitha Baxter is basking in the glow of her successful launchâuntil Lyra is found dead.
With the gala only days away, the board asks Emma for help, despite Tabithaâher longstanding nemesisâbristling over the choice. Emma agrees, even though she is already in charge of a classic mystery panel at her familyâs bookstore, Starlit Books, which turns out to have its own challenges. Meanwhile, Whitney, who is aware of Emmaâs sleuthing skills, begs her to find the killer. The case grows more complex with the disappearance of several priceless objects, an attack on one of the attending celebrities, and other predicaments. Emma searches for clues while handling every unexpected twist and turn leading up to the extravagant affair. But when the guests step onto the red carpet, a killer still lurks in the shadowsâand murder just might become the main event.
