The Witch who Tipped the Scales - Felix and Penzi's Eleventh Paranormal Mystery

Katie Penryn

Sinossi

Deception within illusion as the cameras roll.
 
 
 
Can't Lady Justice see what's going on?
 
 
 
A new normalcy is returning to the little French seaside town of Beaucoup-sur-Mer. It is now considered safe to resume the production of the film about Henry VIII's visit to Francis I's renaissance palace at Cognac. White witch Penzi's friends, the A list couple, Izzy Tointon and her husband, Brent McGill, start the cameras rolling once more.
 
 
 
At first all goes well. The actors are happy to be back at work. Then the atmosphere amongst cast and crew deteriorates. Tempers fray. Innuendo and gossip are rife. The tension escalates to murder. White witch Penzi finds herself having to step in to replace the victim because the show must go on. Felix, Penzi's shapeshifting bodyguard, doesn't want her anywhere near the cameras, let alone the murderer whoever he may be.
 
 
 
However, Penzi stands by her friends and is drawn into solving the murder, putting all thought of personal danger aside in the fight of good against evil. Perhaps she won't find it so easy to tell the difference this time.

Murder in Drury Lane

Vanessa Riley

Pressed into a union of convenience, Lady Abigail Worthing knew better than to expect love. Her marriage to an absent lord does at least provide some comforts, including a box at the Drury Lane theater. Abigail has always found respite at the theater, away from the ton's judgmental stares and the risks of her own secret work to help the cause of abolition—and her fears that someone from her past wants her permanently silenced. But one evening everything collides, and the performance takes an unwelcome turn . . . 
 
 
 
Onstage, a woman emits a scream of genuine terror. A man has been found dead in the prop room, stabbed through the heart.

But she cannot resist, especially when Henderson offers his assistance. 
 
 
 
Abigail discovers a tangled drama that rivals anything brought to the stage, involving gambling debts, a beautiful actress with a parade of suitors, and the very future of the Drury Lane theater. For Abigail the case is complicated further, for one suspect is a leading advocate for the cause dearest to her heart—the abolition of slavery. Uncovering the truth always comes at a price. But this time, it may be far higher than she wishes to pay.
