The Midnight Masquerade: A Cozy Mystery of Hidden Faces and Public Disgraces

🎭 Event planner Evangeline "Eva" Blackwood is orchestrating the social event of the season-the annual Venetian Masquerade Ball at the historic Crestwood Manor. The evening is a sparkling success until the lights flicker and the town's most influential philanthropist is found dead in the conservatory, still wearing her exquisite peacock mask. With all the guests in disguise and alibis impossible to verify, Eva realizes the killer could be anyone from the wealthy socialite circling nearby to the quiet librarian who organized the historical exhibit. Teaming up with the manor's handsome archivist, Eva must decipher clues hidden in the ball's elaborate decorations, musical selections, and even the secret language of fans used by masked attendees. But as she peels back the layers of deception, Eva uncovers a web of blackmail, stolen identities, and old scandals that someone is willing to kill to keep hidden. With the masks about to come off, Eva must reveal the killer before they decide one more disguise is needed-permanently.
