Descripció de l’editorial
A big-city journalist joins the staff of a small-town paper in cottage country and finds a community full of secrets … and murder.
Cat Conway has recently returned to Port Ellis to work as a reporter at the Quill & Packet. She’s fled the tattered remains of her high-profile career and bad divorce for the holiday town of her childhood, famous for its butter tarts, theatre, and a century-old feud.
One of Cat’s first assignments is to interview legendary actor Eliot Fraser, the lead in the theatre’s season opener of Inherit the Wind. When Eliot ends up dead onstage on opening night, the curtain rises on the sleepy town’s secrets. The suspects include the actor whose career Eliot ruined, the ex-wife he betrayed, the women he abused, and even the baker he wronged. With the attention of the world on Port Ellis, this story could be Cat’s chance to restore her reputation. But the police think she’s a suspect, and the murderer wants to kill the story—and her too. Can Cat solve the mystery before she loses her job or becomes the next victim of a killer with a theatrical bent for vengeance?
RESSENYA DE L’APPLE BOOKS
When famous—or perhaps infamous—stage actor Eliot Fraser drops dead during his opening-night performance at the legendary theatre in Port Ellis, Ontario, his sudden demise opens up three decades’ worth of scandalous secrets, blood feuds, and nasty accusations. Back in her hometown after a bad divorce and an embarrassingly public career implosion, journalist Cat Conway is trying to put her life back together with her new gig at Port Ellis’ tiny local paper. This juicy story could be her ticket back to the big time—if the killer doesn’t get to her first. Authors Kate Hilton and Elizabeth Renzetti have created a wonderfully imperfect 45-year-old heroine with guts, brains, and a wicked sense of humour, holding her own through both emotional and physical dangers. This is the first book in the Quill & Packet mystery series, and we seriously can’t wait for more.
