Peril in Paperback: A Bibliophile Mystery

How to become the life of the party? First, survive the celebrationâ€¦

Rare books and antiquities expert Brooklyn Wainwright is thrilled to be invited to the fiftieth birthday party of her neighbor Suzieâ€™s aunt Grace. A retired founder of a major video game corporation, Grace is a larger-than-life character whoâ€™s turned her Lake Tahoe mansion into a fun house, full of everything from pinball machines and giant props to secret passageways and trap doors.

Part of the fun involves a sÃ©ance, but after the lights flicker, one guest is dead, poisoned by a cocktail intended for Grace. It seems someone is determined to turn Graceâ€™s playful palatial estate into a house of horrors. Brooklyn suspects the key to the killerâ€™s identity may lie in the roman Ã¡ clef Grace has written about her life. With Grace in great peril, â€œmust-readâ€ takes on a whole new meaning, as Brooklyn tries to stop a murderer whoâ€™s through playing aroundâ€¦ Â
