Blurb

The audience thinks it's part of the performance. Then the screaming starts.

Welcome back to Turtle Key!

When legendary actor Carter Whitmore collapses during opening night at the Gulfside Repertory Theatre, the show ends in chaos. Before the curtain even falls, the police think they've found their killer—and their investigation turns straight toward Palm & Pastry, the bakery Ellis Kane practically calls home.

Determined to clear his closest friend before the investigation destroys her bakery, her reputation, and her future, Kane dives into the world of theater, where rivalries run deep, egos are enormous, and nearly everyone wanted the star dead.

But the deeper Kane digs, the less the evidence makes sense…

And he begins to wonder if the police may have been right all along.

Packed with unforgettable characters, laugh-out-loud humor, razor-sharp dialogue, surprising twists, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, Scone Cold is the third Ellis Kane Mystery.
