Description:
When librarian Charlie Harris' daughter is falsely accused of murder, he and his faithful feline Diesel must leap forward to crack the case in this all-new installment in the New York Times bestselling series.
Charlie Harris has sworn off investigating murder and mayhem after a recent close call. Instead, he's delighted to cheer on his daughter, Laura, who's starring in a production of Careless Whispers. The theater department at Athena College is debuting the play written by a fledgling playwright with local connections and Charlie's son-in-law, Frank Salisbury, will be calling the directorial shots.
Laura is upset to learn that Luke Lombardi, an overbearing actor she knew from her time in Hollywood will also be taking part in the production as a guest artist. Lombardi arrives with an entourage in tow and promptly proceeds to annoy everyone involved with the production. When he collapses and dies on stage, after drinking from a glass Laura handed him, she becomes the chief suspect in his murder.
Charlie knows his daughter is innocent, and he's not going to let anyone railroad his little girl. So, despite his intentions to put his amateur sleuthing days behind him, Charlie has to take center stage, and with Diesel's help, shine a spotlight on the real killer.
My Thoughts:
This book follows Charlie Harris as his daughter is working with her husband showcasing a play at the University. Of course like any book it isn't long before the craziness begins. First it seems there are two play writers? Who is the real author of Carless Whispers?
As the play progress someone is deliberately sabotaging the play and driving Luke Lombardi crazy. At the night of the opening the tricks have gone too far and someone is killed Luke and Laura Charlie's daughter could have been next! Charlie is determined to try from afar to figure out what the heck is going on. Who had it out for the actor and just how determined are they to end the actor's life?
Even though Charlie is warned a few times by Laura to but out he can't because it could have easily have been her.
I love Charlie and Diesel since the first time I picked up a book. It's like going to check on old friends and see what they are up to. Of course the interaction with Azalea and the cats is so much fun to look forward to every time I pick up this author!
