by Leigh Perry (Author)
A killer performance
English adjunct Georgia Thackery and her best friend, Sid the Skeleton, must find a murderer and the victim after the local high school auditorium becomes the scene of a late-night murder...and Sid is the only witness! Against her better judgment, Georgia allows her daughter Madison to sneak Sid into the Pennycross High School Drama Club's spring production of Hamlet. As a bona fide member of the Thackery family, Sid is thrilled to lend a hand-- or in this case, a skull-- to help Madison's thespian pursuits. But when Sid accidentally overhears a murder occurring off the stage, he and Georgia suspect something's rotten in the state of...well, Massachusetts. As an adjunct English professor, Georgia is familiar with Hamlet's typical body count. So, she knows the scene Sid heard from the wings-- long after rehearsals ended and the high school closed for the night-- was definitely off-script. But how can she and Sid investigate a murder if the victim's corpse is nowhere to be found? It seems like a dead end. But even a bare bones investigation is better than none at all, because if Georgia and Sid don't act quickly, Madison and her classmates could be in danger of something far worse than stage fright...

Kelner, writing as Leigh Perry-- perfect for fans of Charlaine Harris and Bailey Cates!Author Biography
