The last thing gluten-free baker Poppy McAllister needs in her life is more drama—or more murder . . .

Poppy thought her toughest challenge this winter would be sticking to her Paleo diet and filling all her orders for her gluten-free goodies, but now she has to choose between two suitors. She’s not the only one with boyfriend drama. Aunt Ginny’s long-ago high-school beau, Royce Hanson, a retired Broadway actor, has returned to Cape May, New Jersey, to star in a Senior Center staging of Mamma Mia. Leaving Aunt Ginny to wonder: What’s his motivation?

Slated to open February 13th, the problem-plagued production seems to be cursed—with stolen props, sabotage, and even a death threat. But when a cast member plunges to his death from a catwalk, it soon becomes clear a murderer is waiting in the wings. Now Poppy, Aunt Ginny, and a supporting cast must take center stage to catch the killer—before it’s curtains for someone else . . .

You can’t help but have a good old time with the comedic antics of Aunt Ginny and her compatriots, known as The Biddies.

This was a fast-paced and well-written tale with multiple story-lines that when all is said and done are somehow connected, expertly done by the author. The narrative was visually descriptive with engaging dialogue that had me laughing out loud. I had a great time trying to figure things out but when I thought I knew what was going on, the change with some strategically placed twists and turns, change direction, that kept me on my toes.

The author knows how to tell a story that had me immersed in all that was happening and I delight in all the escapades that the seniors and Poppy and Sawyer. The scene when they went running across town to find the person leaving bad reviews was a hoot. Oh, but the best scene was the final act at their theater performance. Crack me up. The ending left us with a cliff-hanger and I look forward to Poppy’s decision in the next book.

Again, this was an enjoyable read and I can’t wait to read the next book in this hilariously entertaining series.
