Tig isn't a detective. She just played one on TV. Will that be enough to help her find the killer?

Acting jobs are scarce now for former TV teen detective Antigone Alden. So when a teaching position opens up at Southern Coastal University, Tig packs up her teenage daughter and heads home to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

But the house she inherited from her mother isn't entirely empty. Her mom seems stuck between this life and the next, and now Tig is a local reporter's prime suspect in the murder of the former theater professor. Given his reputation as a ladies' man, however, there are plenty of people with a motive.

3 1/2 Stars

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

After encountering dreadful ageism in another Jessica Archer novel, I swore I would read no other books by the author. However, this had an intriguing premise and no older characters to be maligned, and so I gave it a go. I found only one tiny editing fail throughout (what a delightful teacher once called an "inside out clause"). The characters were basically believable but for one who was completely over the top. The paranormal element is lightly drawn and enhances, rather than disturbs the story. I must admit to prejudice in that I am very, very bored with the tired old plot device of the "divorced woman reconnects with handsome old flame who just happens to be investigating the murder". Yeesh. Come up with something new, cozy writers! I'd probably have given the book four stars but for that.

Enjoyable story with no ending

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was reading and enjoying this story when suddenly it ended, leaving lots of things hanging, like it had started as a much longer story and was then arbitrarily divided into two or three separate stories. A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end, but this one stopped in the.middle.

Enjoyable read

Tig has just moved from LA to her mother's house on the Outer Banks of North Carolina with her daughter, Paige. She is starting as a Associate professor at the local college teaching theater arts. While exploring the theater with her student assistant they discover the body of the professor whose position she is taking over. Her nemesis from high school is now a reporter for the local newspaper and it seems like she never left the attitude toward Tig behind. Her boyfriend from high school is now the chief of police and the one who is investigating the murder. Things are not as they seem with the whole situation and the twists and turns add to the plot.

A great cast of characters - even a ghost!

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019

Jessica Archer and her Coastal Playhouse Mysteries have just become a new favorite! A great cast of characters, all realistic and their situations entirely believable. Antigone (Tig) is fun to follow on her adventures to figure out who murdered the Professor. And for comic relief, I loved her arch enemy Alicia; the catty, gossiping, almost libelous reporter for the local rag! If you love cozy mysteries featuring small, did I mention coastal, town, then this series is for you. Suspense until the surprise ending!

Affairs and blackmail

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2019

Tig just can’t catch a break. Literally. This is a good whodunnit and every thing isn’t what it seems. There are a lot of twists and turns, but that’s what makes this a good read. I was really rooting for Attila and I’m a dog lover. I’m not sure who’s worse, Leo or his owner.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Terrific Mystery!

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

This story consists of a strong female lead character, with a few other main characters. The daughter, the sheriff, the co-workers are all part of the story. But trying to solve the "who dunnit" is the best part.

Very Good Book

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book has good forward motion and believable characters! I very much enjoyed reading this. I'd like to drop kick Alicia. I suppose we've all known someone like her. Tig's character is great. There is enough background to make sense of the stupid and petty Alicia. Chief Lamm will likely be prominent in future books as well.
