A Champagne Catastrophe

While helping cater Wallshire’s glamorous theatre gala, Peyton notices that acclaimed actor Julian Cross has made more enemies backstage than admirers. When the curtain falls and Julian is found dead onstage—with a real dagger where a prop should have been—the entire company becomes a cast of suspects.

Trapped inside the theatre with a killer, Peyton joins forces with the sharp-eyed Detective Levi Kessler to unravel a mystery of bitter rivalries, broken promises, and carefully concealed secrets. But the murder was executed with theatrical precision, and someone is determined to keep Peyton from uncovering the final clue.

Can she expose the killer before the clock strikes midnight—or will Wallshire ring in the new year with another murder?

A Champagne Disaster is Book 8 in The Wallshire Mystery Series, a charming cozy mystery filled with small-town intrigue, clever clues, sparkling wit, and a splash of romance.
