Macdeath (en Inglés) - Cindy Brown

Agatha Award nominee! Like every actor, Ivy Meadows knows Macbeth is cursed. But she’s finally scored her big break, cast as an acrobatic witch in a circus-themed production of the Scottish play in Phoenix, Arizona. And though it may not be Broadway, nothing can dampen her enthusiasm-not her flying cauldron, too-tight leotard, or carrot-wielding dictator of a director.

But when her friend and fellow cast member dies on opening night, Ivy is sure the seeming accident is "murder most foul" and that she’s the perfect person to solve the crime (after all, she does work part-time in her uncle’s detective agency). Undeterred by a poisoned Big Gulp, the threat of being blackballed, and the suddenly too-real curse of Macbeth, Ivy pursues the truth at the risk of her hard-won career-and her life.

"A gut-splitting mystery...Combining humor and pathos can be risky in a whodunit, but gifted author Brown makes it work." Mystery Scene Magazine

"Who cannot have fun with a disastrous (and murderous) production of Macbeth? CIndy Brown’s first novel is a delicious romp with plenty of humor and suspense." Rhy Bowen, New York Times Bestselling Author
