1 of 1 copy available

Broke, unemployed barista Halley Greer is shocked when she inherits an Art Deco movie palace from the great uncle she remembers meeting once as a child. She moves to the charming tourist town of Utopia Springs, Arkansas to claim her legacy.

In addition to the timeworn theater, she discovers she's also inherited a trash-heaped apartment, family secrets, her uncle's friends, a stealthy calico kitty—and an adversary.

With a whole latte help from her new friends, the feisty barista fixes up and re-opens the theater as a coffee and wine bar, showing classic films. She generates some steam with a hunky local—and risks getting burned. The opening night of My Fair Lady looks like a big hit, and her new life feels like a bit of movie magic, until a customer turns up dead during intermission.

With the cops eyeing her as a suspect, Halley digs into the victim's life and runs into a tangle of blackmail and secrets. Can Halley and her friends unmask a killer before the curtain comes down for keeps?

      Broke, unemployed barista Halley Greer learns she has inherited the Star Movie Palace from her great-uncle, whom she hasn't seen since she was eight. When she arrives in Utopia Springs, AR, she finds an art deco theater in need of renovation, and a small group of people willing to help if she wants to save the building. Halley plans to show classic films and sell coffee and local wine. Despite some vandalism and a painted warning to "go home," opening night with My Fair Lady is a success, until intermission, when a man is found dead in the theater. Halley reports that she saw the man staring in at her the day of the vandalism, and thus becomes suspect number one. The victim, however, had threatened to blackmail a few townspeople who wouldn't sell to him or help him hunt for a treasure hidden by Jesse James. VERDICT Fee ("Liv & Di in Dixie" mysteries) launches a new cozy series with an appealing amateur sleuth and a diverse cast of characters. Fans of Margaret Dumas's Murder at the Palace will welcome another humorous series set in the world of classic movie theaters.--Lesa Holstine, Evansville Vanderburgh P.L., IN
