Life in Brookhaven has settled down for Darcy. She's gained more control over and confidence in her magic. And she's happily dating Maggie. When she discovers she has family in the area, Darcy can't imagine things going any better.

But when a night out at the theater for her cousin's production of Romeo and Juliet turns deadly and Darcy 's new cousin looks like a prime suspect, she's bound up in another murder investigation.

Proving her family's innocence seems simple enough but the more Darcy digs, the more she unearths a twisted obsession and dangerous magic. Will the trap she lays for the killer force a confessions, or will they slip away, leaving only tragedy in their wake?

Another fun entry!

I've read all the books in the Brookhaven series and this one is my favorite. I'm secretly a theater kid so I'm a sucker for behind the scenes theater drama, especially when it involves murder (of the fictional kind, of course). I love the narration and it's always a plus when the same narrator continues throughout a book series. Looking forward to book 5!

all time low for this series

this is a barely tolerable series anyway, but I can fully understand why Audible cuts it off here. the series is your typical (for cozies) dumb and nosy character flailing about and somehow managing to not get herself dead. but this book took her character to new heights of stupidity. excessively clumsy writing. I was only listening bcos it was free and I hadn't been able to find anything better (and bcos the last cozy paranormal mystery series I took a chance on ended up being great!). narration is decent but not great
