And as a Halloween treat, it will be on sale for $.99 until November 1. I’ll add the pre-order links here as I get them. I hope you enjoy it!

When Cassie Pengear’s cousin Milly invites her to a masquerade ball at the Melpomene Theatre, her first instinct is to say no. The last party Milly had invited her to ended in murder, and these tickets came from one of Milly’s gentlemen callers, never a good sign. But dressing up for a Halloween masquerade at a theater did sound fun, so she agrees. And the masquerade is fun, until someone discovers a body. With Inspector Burrows in charge, Cassie figures the case is in good hands and out of hers, until Milly drags them into investigating the murder at the masquerade.
