Ok so this is yet again another mystery series, but there is a new twist on the amateur detective. This time she is the manager of the local historic movie theatre, that only shows classic films.
Murder in the Balcony is complete with murder, ghosts and old black and white movies that Nora and the other employees love.
Another cozy mystery series. Though this is not the first in the series, it was easy to figure out the back story. Nora Paige has left her husband who is a movie producer/director and is having an affair with a starlet. She goes north to a friend in San Francisco. She is given the guest cottage to live in and a job at the Palace, a historic movie theatre that shows classic films. Of course there is a ghost on premises to make the novel light and entertaining.
This time Nora invites a Real Estate conference to use the theatre for their meetings. She handles the catering and logistics to help the theatre earn more money. But when a real estate broker is killed, Nora decides to help the investigation to speed up the reopening of the theatre. Juggling running the theatre, trying to find out the killer and negotiating with husband to see if they will patch up their marriage or not is keeping Nora busy and on her toes.
This is an entertaining mystery novel. It holds your attention, but there are so many.
Interesting is the detail about many old movies that I did not know. I even figured out which movie my mother-in-law has been trying to remember.
