House guests and fish are best enjoyed fresh; after a few days, it’s time to chuck them out. Iconic TV star Polly Pepper learns this the hard way when Lester Lynch, the grumpy costume designer from her classic variety show, barges into Thistlethorne Lodge?the English castle she inherited from a fan?to write his juicy Hollywood tell-all memoir. Armed with a pen sharper than his fashion sense, Lester?s unwelcome stay turns Polly?s life upside down as his manuscript reveals scathing secrets about her and all her movie star friends. Just when Polly?s patience reaches its limit, a stormy night brings a shocking twist: Lester is found dead behind a secret panel in the castle?s library. It appears someone had a buried past they couldn?t risk Lester unearthing.
Chaos ensues, and Polly is once again forced to become an amateur sleuth. With old grudges and celebrity gossip swirling like whispers at a Hollywood dinner party, she dives into the murky waters of hidden motives. Can Polly unmask the killer before they strike again? And can she survive the sinister secrets that lie in wait?
Join Polly Pepper in Shadows at Midnight, where old Hollywood glamour meets English castle intrigue (and a sympathetic ghost, too), for a clever and gripping whodunit.
