Mrs. Pickles

This book was originally released under another pen name. I'm excited to share it again—now published as Patti Ann Stafford.

Show biz can be murder.

At least for theater owner Jessica James and her crew in the small town of Peculiar. Things get shaky when they're thrown into the crazy world of murder investigation. 

This new cozy mystery series is a step back in time for those that love old fashioned ghosts who like to stir up mayhem, amateur sleuths, and a few animals keep things lively and interesting.

Jessica needs to pull off the biggest production of her life to save her small community theater. Murder in the theater threatens to bring her efforts to a screeching halt as she scrambles to figure out who the killer is and who can fill the lead role before opening night. If she can't pull this off and the show is a flop, she will lose everything she's been working so hard to hold onto. 

The resident ghost, Farley, keeps things stirred up with his antics and sarcastic remarks about everything, which leads to more trouble. Every time she turns around, the new deputy overhears her talking to thin air. How can she convince him that ghosts are real and she's not some crazy lady who talks to herself?
