After a man dies during a performance at Castle Dark, Nora Blake learns just how hard it is to catch a killer, especially if every suspect is a trained actor, in this exciting new Dinner and a Murder Mystery.

Autumn has arrived at Castle Dark, and Nora Blake has settled into her role as an actor in Derek Corby’s castle murder-mystery troupe. She is troubled, however, by the setting of Derek’s fall mystery: the catacombs in the depths of the castle. Yes, these catacombs are part of a set, the skeletons and cobwebs mere props, but Nora feels uneasy in the shadowy passages beneath Castle Dark. When a man is killed during one of their first shows, the eerie catacombs become a place of terror.

Joined by her castle companions, Nora attempts to find the motive for killing a seemingly innocent victim. Some of those answers appear to lie with the local community theater, the members of which Nora has come to know because she has joined Derek’s latest town production. As Nora practices her lines at Wood Glen’s Blue Curtain Theater, she realizes that everyone around her is an actor, and all of her suspects are perfectly capable of convincing others of their innocence. Nora soon discovers that someone else is in danger and that she may also be in the sights of the killer. With the help of her handsome boyfriend, Detective John Dashiell, Nora will have to go off-script to prevent a murderous encore. . . .

Lovely books

I loved the first book of the series. It made the whole actor living in a castle scenario sound so appealing, and had a good mystery too. This book was a little slower paced and didn’t focus as much in the mystery. It did have a lot of character development and I liked that. One thing that was irritating from an audio book perspective was the characters with similar names. One of the plays the actors were in had a character named Nora and the main character of this story is Nora - why would the author do that? Also there was a character named Jay and his brother was dating Jade - those sounded nearly identical when narrated. It’s a minor complaint but if you really have to concentrate on separating similarly named characters it takes away from the enjoyment of the book.

Decently Entertaining

This is an entertaining story but there is too much time spent on romantic entanglements. It slowed down the pace of the story. I'm not sure about getting the next story because it's a bit too polyanna for me.

Pretty good
