    About this series

    What could be more entertaining than a professional mourner's convention? An actually dead actor lying in a prop coffin. And a heroine who realizes if she doesn't find the killer fast, somebody else is going to die. Namely her.

     

    MayBell is excited to attend her very first Professional Mourner's convention. She's looking forward to meeting other mourners and picking up tips to improve her graveside performances. Anticipating days filled with representative mourning situations and training, May quickly discovers that the corpse lying in the coffin is all too real. To make things worse, May appears to be the last person to have seen the victim the night before.

    May quickly finds herself on the hot seat to find a killer. There are just a couple of small problems. First, her suspect pool includes over a hundred professional mourners and vendors. And second, the real killer doesn't want May to discover the truth. Making her unusual mourning situation not only tricky but unconventionally deadly as well.

      It's definitely curtains for May's client. He's exited Stage Left for the last time.   May Ferth just wants to do a good job in her role as fake girlfriend. But there are strange goings on at the funeral. Shifty characters whispering secrets in shadowed corners, and a truly yummy advocate for the dead guy implying that May might have had something to do with his friend's unscripted exit. May might be a thirty-three-year-old ex-community theater actress on her second career, but she comes from a family of cops. And, despite her talent for acting, she has a lot more Detective in her than Diva.  The villain thinks he can threaten her and she'll fold like last week's panned play. Clearly, he hasn't read the day's script changes. May and her little dog Shakespeare are on the case. Though, they might take a little direction from the Private Investigator who believes that May's client was murdered, and fully intends to prove it.

      Maybell never expected to bump into her high school drama rival again. But May's old nemesis has apparently been taking acting lessons. Otherwise, she could never have performed the role of a corpse so convincingly. Oh. Wait…   Asked to take part in a community theatre production for charity, Maybell Ferth thought it would be fun to do something she loved while helping kids in her hometown. But, there was a problem. Patrice Reynolds had been the bane of May's existence since high school drama class. When she left community theatre behind, May promised herself she'd never let the woman get under her skin again. But fate wasn't letting her off the hook that easily. It was just like Patrice to end up dead in a way that implicated May. Her very public battles with the difficult diva shine a light on May as the number one suspect. The only way to clear her name is to put her professional mourning skills into practice at the funeral. With a murder to solve and her own future at stake, Maybell's acting chops are going to be sorely tested.

      FaLaLaLaLa the songbird's dead.   It seems like a bad joke. I mean, Carol Ling? What cruelty of parental whim would make people name a kid Carol when her last name was Ling? But that's not really the point, is it? The point is her death. Or really murder. Carol died with a song on her lips and my PI boyfriend and I intend to find her murderer. With an assist from my genius Pomeranian, Shakespeare, and a couple of quirky neighbors, we're on the killer's trail. If only he doesn't turn the tables and get us first.
