Never Thwart a Thespian

Summary

This curtain is going up … nomatter what else goes down.

Leigh’s intrepid Aunt Bess has decided that an abandonedbuilding in the small Pittsburgh borough of West View would make the perfecttheater for her troupe of local thespians, and when Bess sets her mind tosomething, it generally happens. Never mind that the building boasts acentury-long history of nefarious owners, financial default, mysteriousdisappearances, drunken debauchery, regular break-ins, strange nighttimelights, at least one murder, and last but not least—that nagging littleaccusation of devil worship.

Though wary of the building’smacabre milieu, Leigh reluctantly allows her children to assist Bess by sortingthrough the decades of accumulated junk stashed in the erstwhile church’sbasement. Little does she know that the kids’ findings are only the tip of aniceberg, and that for someone with her “proclivities,” this particular buildingis the last place she should be. With her friend Detective Maura Polanskiexpecting and stuck on bed rest, Leigh scrambles to unravel the link betweenthe murders of the past and the growing threats of the present—before thistheater’s opening becomes someone’s end!
