About this listen

“Time to dance, sugarplum.”

A painter at the Meyer’s Toys factory, Clarice Stahl, knows something is strange about the way so many men come and go through Mr. Meyer’s office, especially one in particular. Then murder strikes a little too close to home and uncorks a barrel of secrets.

When mob king, Mario Topo’s, enforcer goes missing the race is on to prove he's behind the murder. Police and mobsters alike are after Milo Natale, and he who finds Milo first might determine the enforcer’s fate.

A race through the city, a new friend…or more…a new life in the offing. Milo and Clarice must find who killed Topo’s man and why before the police arrest him for murder or Topo’s men bump him and Clarice off, too.

This next book in the Ever After Mysteries combines The Nutcracker Suite with a murder mystery set in the heart of 1920s Rockland.

Milo means soldier, Clara is an orphaned niece and the time is the 1920s. With a good sense of place and time, I found myself sniggering at the Nutcracker references applied in unexpected scenarios. After all, a children’s classic Christmas piece and Organised Crime during prohibition? Who’d have thunk!
Watch out for the ballet dancer reference or it will skitter past you on the stairs…

A wonderful twist on the Nutcracker story
