Murder at the Party

By Holly Finch

A centennial celebration, a deadly toast, and a past that won't stay buried...

Alice Monroe is juggling streamers, champagne flutes, and last-minute jitters as she plans Sun Harbor's biggest event yet: beloved community fixture Mrs. Joyce Patterson's hundredth birthday bash at Sunrise Community Center. But when a celebrity biographer arrives in town, long-buried whispers resurface-about old Hollywood scandals, a missing husband, and a notorious jewel heist that was never solved.

The party is barely underway when the biographer collapses mid-toast, poisoned before the cake is even cut. With a hundred guests in attendance and champagne flowing freely, suspicion falls on everyone-from estranged relatives and mysterious Hollywood acquaintances to longtime locals guarding secrets of their own.

As police swarm Sunrise and Mrs. Patterson becomes the center of a growing scandal, Alice must dig into a century's worth of lies to uncover the truth. What really happened in Mrs. Patterson's past-and how far will someone go to keep it buried?
