Murder in the Balcony
Kindle Edition
Published September 24th 2019 by Henery Press
Goodreads synopsis:
Classic Movies, Ghostly Mischief, and Murder! Nora Paige is settling into her new life as manager of the Palace movie theater. She only has a few things to worry about. Like keeping the theater safely out of the clutches of an evil real estate developer, dealing with her staff of movie-obsessed misfits and their daily meltdowns, and hiding the fact that her new best friend Trixie is the ghost of an usherette who died in 1937.
It would also be helpful if she could figure out whether she wants to take her charming-but-cheating husband back.
But when someone close to the Palace is murdered, the only thing Nora really needs to worry about is finding the killer before they strike again.

This is the second book in the Movie Palace Mystery series by Margaret Dumas.
I was excited to see that book two was already released in this intoxicating series! I am indeed hooked by Trixie, Nora/Sally Lee and all the workers at the Palace Theater.
All our favorite people are back for this installment: Hector in all his Spanish broodiness is always there to save the day, curmudgeonly Marty the projectionist is always good for a laugh and his boyfriend, Detective Jackson gets to the details of the murder not to mention the senior of the bunch, Albert and his memoir and history with the theater.
The Palace Theater still struggles financially and there is someone out to buy up all the property in their area for some yet unknown scheme. When a plethora of real estate professionals show up in the theater for a meeting, one of them ends up dead, thrown off the same balcony as Trixie! And that wasn’t the only dead person in this story. Days earlier a man known to the cast ends up dead and his three girlfriends show up each not really knowing much, if anything, about the other.
It is the cast of this delicious mystery that really seals the deal for me. I just adore all of them. I don’t think the author will be able to write fast enough to make me get enough of them all! I am just in love. Squee! More please.
If you love cozy mysteries, definitely check out this series. Highly, highly recommended!
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank Edelweiss, Henery Press and the author for allowing me to read this title.
