I would like to thank both NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read and review this book.

Book Review:

This is the first book I have ever read from Ellie Alexander. My oldest daughter loves these books. This is the 19th book in the series. With that being said I didn't feel like I was missing anything as I read this book. I wish I did know more about each character by reading the other books, but it didn't stop my enjoyment. I gave this book 4 stars.

In this book The Taming of the Shrew is being played at the theater.  Jules is part owner along with her friend Lance. After this first showing the main actor is find dead in the tasting room of the restaurant. Jules finds him with a corkscrew in his neck. Who killed him and why? Jules needs to know and there are many people who could have done it. This actor was not a nice guy. Also, Jules isn't feeling well and decides she needs to probably slow down and have her staff do more and possibly hire more help. As Jules looks into the murder, she gets so much information and can't narrow down the who done it. It seems like when she thinks she the person more information comes to light and it's impossible to figure out who done it.

I love the family and friends in this story and can't wait to go back and the other books in this series.
