Attending your boss’s nephew’s wedding as a spy?
Zero stars. Do not recommend.
Ruby Ecco and the Melody Street Players are back in their home base of Bloomington, Indiana, to stage Little Shop of Horrors, their first production of the new year. When the cast receives a much-needed holiday gift of a full weekend off, Ruby is afraid she’ll be bored--until Margaret, her boss, invites her to do some sleuthing at a family wedding, where strangeness is afoot.
Henry, Margaret’s nephew and the groom’s younger brother, is dating a rather mysterious and elusive woman. Margaret is convinced he’s gotten himself in over his head. Ruby can't help but think of Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, the naive flower shop employee who buys a very strange plant that should have come with a warning label.
When Ruby finds out Henry's mysterious girlfriend's name is Audrey Tooe, she's quite alarmed. In the musical, Seymour names his alien plant Audrey II. Since every new show seems to coincide with a murder, Ruby fears the horror on stage might suddenlyspill over into real life...
The Musical Murder Mystery series follows plus-size chorus girl, Ruby Ecco, as she and her traveling theatre troupe visit cities all over the world to stage musicals. The problem? Everywhere the troupe goes, murder and mayhem seem to follow. Ruby might not be leading lady material, but she's shaping up to be quite the amateur sleuth!

Prequel: Panic at the Playhouse (Dangerous Curves Series #8)
Book 1: The Sound of Murder
Book 2: West Side Murder
Book 3: Little Shop of Murder
Book 4: Once Upon a Murder
