Book 2 

Angie Deacon has a new career,

co-owner of Alton Bay New Hampshire’s community theater, Prince & Pauper. Her divorce is almost final and, even though her too-clingy mother has moved in, life is good once again. 

Angie’s new love interest, Detective Colby Jarvis lost a bet with his fellow officers ​: he has  to try out for a part in Angie’s show Checkmate: Murder. ​He is awarded the part of a burglar.  Unfortunately, during the very first performance, Jarvis shoots the star with his personal handgun that’s somehow been switched with the theater’s prop gun. 

Though on suspension, he is heavy with need to find out who switched guns. Why would anyone use him to kill the leading man who, by day, is the  unassuming owner of the local nursery. Add that to the fact that his long-thought-dead father is back, Jarvis has had his last good night’s  sleep for a while.
