The Birthday Encore Murder
A Ginger Vale Culinary Mystery — Part 4By T. Sebastian Pierce
Length59m
About this audiobook
Ginger Vale planned to celebrate her fiftieth birthday aboard the luxurious Aurelia Serenade with good food, close friends, and perhaps a little relaxation.
Murder was not on the menu.
When legendary musician Leon Mercer suddenly collapses during rehearsal just hours before his highly anticipated performance, everyone assumes his troubled heart finally gave out.
But Ginger notices one small detail that refuses to fit.
His tea was untouched.
What follows is a warm, witty, and suspenseful culinary mystery involving a missing throat spray, a secret rehearsal recording, questionable financial records, and a thirty-two-year professional relationship built on trust.
With Nia Winters and Maribel Santos beside her, Ginger must determine whether Leon's final performance ended naturally—or whether someone carefully arranged his last encore.
