Synopsis

Be careful what you wish for … Introducing Hollywood script supervisor Evelyn Galloway, who’s drawn into a murder investigation after landing her dream job on the set of Hitchcock’s Rebecca. 1939, Los Angeles. Evelyn Galloway can’t believe her luck! On her first day in LA, she lands her dream job of script supervisor, and on the hottest film in town—Hitchcock’s adaptation of Rebecca. But her good fortune quickly changes when a legendary actor cancels their lunch the following day and is found murdered at home. Evelyn realizes she could be a witness to the crime, having passed the bungalow’s grounds on her way home the night before. Who was the man looking upset in a gazebo? And why was movie starlet Madeleine Nabors running wildly away from the scene? When the tabloid reports contradict what Evelyn saw with her own eyes, she soon finds herself pitted against powerful studio bosses and unscrupulous journalists as she races to uncover the truth. A charmingly gripping historical cozy featuring obsession, power and murder, perfect for fans of Verity Bright and Nicola Upson’s SHOT WITH CRIMSON. “Nostalgic, sweet, and glamorous … A pleasure to read”—Booklist
