Opening night at Seaview Theater was supposed to be a celebration. Until a murder stole the spotlight. Seaview Theater has always been one of Moonlight Bay's most treasured landmarks, where generations of residents have gathered for performances, celebrations, and community events. As the historic theater prepares for its grand reopening after an extensive restoration, wealthy benefactor Arthur Beaumont arrives determined to control its future. But when Arthur is found murdered backstage on opening night, the celebration quickly turns into a crime scene. As librarian and antique shop owner Grace Hastings investigates the victim's past, suspicion falls on Elliot Crane, the theater director whose production depends on Arthur's financial support, and Margaret Sinclair, the theater treasurer hiding troubling discrepancies within the restoration accounts. With help from reporter Tom Barlow and her loyal black Labrador Murphy, Grace uncovers missing ownership records, decades-old secrets, and hidden betrayals buried deep within Seaview Theater's history. But as the investigation closes in, Grace must uncover the truth before the secrets surrounding Seaview Theater place her directly in the killer's path.
