I am excited to share with you the cover for the fifth book in the “Ivy Meadows” humorous mystery series from Henery Press, coming January 30, 2018.
Title: The Phantom of Oz
Series: Ivy Meadows #5
Genre: Humorous Mystery
Publisher: Henery Press
Website: cindybrownwriter.com
Creepy Munchkins. A Mysterious Phantom. And a Real Wicked Witch.
Who dropped a chandelier on the Wicked Witch of the East? Was it the ghost who haunts the Grand Phoenician Theatre? A “wicked witch” among the cast of The Wizard: A Space OZpera? Or is it someone—or something—more sinister? Actress and part-time PI Ivy Meadows has been hired to uncover the cause of the creepy accidents that plague the roadshow.
It’s Ivy’s most personal case so far. Her best friend Candy, who’s touring with the show, is caught in a downward spiral of self-destruction, and is in more danger than she knows. To save her friend and the show, Ivy must answer some tough questions: Do spirits really exist? What is real beauty? What does friendship mean? Ivy needs to learn the answers, and fast—before Candy reaches the point of no return.
