A Motive For Murder

by Katy Munger

This fourth book of the Hubbert Lil "cozy with an edge" mystery series, written by Katy Munger using the pen name Gallagher Gray, takes place within the ranks of the fictional Metropolitan Opera during its annual production of, you guessed it, The Nutcracker.


When an infamous stage father's dead body swings across the stage and ruins a crucial scene on opening night, mayhem breaks out-- both within the Ballet's management ranks and in the city at large. Is some maniac killing people at the opera house? Was there a racial motivation behind the killing? Or is there a curse on the Metropolitan Ballet?


Free-wheeling octogenarian Auntie Lil is a member of the Ballet's Board and is determined to find out who has spoiled her artistic vision. Aided by her buttoned-down nephew T.S. Hubbert, the duo set out to entrap a clever killer.
