(2024)(The first book in the Backstage Mystery series)
A novel by M S Greene
Tasha Weaver has seen her fair share of divas come and go while working as the costume shop head at the Eastbrook Playhouse, but her beloved theater is put at risk when the star of the show is killed in this fun but deadly debut, perfect for fans of Ellery Adams and Kellye Garrett.
Tasha Weaver is most at home in the cozy backstage world of the Eastbrook Playhouse. As the costume shop head at the charming regional theater, she’s used to watching dramatic acts of love and revenge from the shadows. But when Kurt Mozer—the insufferable Broadway reject who stars in their production of Annie Get Your Gun—is shot center stage, the spotlight turns to her.
Everyone knows Kurt was difficult to work with, and after he got into a fight with both director Marnie Mason and artistic leader Arthur Winston, he promptly decided to quit the show. In deep financial trouble, the Eastbrook Playhouse depended on a big name like Kurt to keep afloat. With reporters coming in from the Big Apple to Tasha’s little corner of Connecticut, she realizes it's up to her to save their local theater and keep her community safe. After all, the show must go on…but what do you do when the killer could very well be one of your loved ones?
With the help of her friends, her long-time crush Bruno Machado, and her feline colleague Hilly, Tasha must catch a murderer before the shining lights of the playhouse go out forever.

Praise for this book
"There's No Murder Like Show Murder is a sparkling whodunnit set backstage at a venerable but cash-strapped regional theater. Author M.S. Greene expertly conjures the unique esprit de corps of that world, and he's created a memorable cast of characters led by whip-smart yet lovable Tasha Weaver, the costume shop manager of the Eastbrook Playhouse. When Tasha is forced into the role of amateur sleuth to solve a murder (and save the theater) this intricately plotted cozy mystery will keep readers guessing - and rooting for Tasha - till the last page. A ton of fun!" - Marjorie McCown
