Description
When a Hollywood film crew descends on her small town, part-time librarian Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden gets a behind-the-scenes look at movie making - and reprises her role as an amateur sleuth . . .
It's been more than a year since her husband Martin's death, and Roe is still in mourning. All she wants is to be left alone to grieve - but that becomes impossible when a movie company arrives in Lawrenceton. They've come to make a film based on a book written by her onetime boyfriend Robin Crusoe, a book that detailed their shared investigation of a series of murders that occurred years before.
The locals are delighted. Roe is not. But Robin is just beginning to win her over when the lead actress - who is playing Roe - is killed. Once again, the two of them join forces to thwart a killer - without knowing that Roe herself is the next target . . .
