When Gus LeGarde agrees to play piano for the high school drama clubs production of Spirit Me Away, a sixties-style musical he wrote in college, he doesnt expect to face a series of menacing pranks played on his fiance Camille and the drama club. Whos sabotaging the show? And what do they have against Camille?

Is it sex-crazed Armand, the Latino teen infatuated with her? Something happened last year that Camille wont talk about, and it has to do with Armand. Gus wants to know what happened, but shes not talking.

Could it be Superintendent Marshall, whose past holds horrific secrets related to one of the worst crimes of the 20th century? And why did someone break into Camilles home to steal her intimate undergarments and her beloved mini-dachshund, Boris?

Gus must unravel the mystery before the backstage saboteur stakes his final, deadly claim.

Youre about to dive into Upstaged, book 2 in the LeGarde Mystery series. If you enjoy it, I hope youll consider leaving a review. It doesnt have to be long or fancyjust a few lines about what you liked best or how the book made you feel is perfectly fine.
Authors really do read the reviews and love to hear what their readers think and feel about the characters, the story, or the writing. Its validating, especially if you enjoy what we work so hard to produce!
Thanks in advance for taking a few minutes to write a review ;o)

Chapter One
W hen the first scream came, it was long and shrill.
The students sitting in front of the stage shot up from their seats and began to babble and twist around, looking for the source.
I wondered where it had come from, too. Pushing back from the piano, I stood and listened for an encore. I waited a few minutes, and then turned to my fiance, Camille, who was in charge of auditions this afternoon. Miss Cot?
Brow furrowed, she turned to the teens who crowded around her. Does anyone know where the scream came from?
The teens shook their heads and chattered even louder.
Molly Frost, whod been auditioning on stage with a lyrical rendition of Gershwins Someone to Watch Over Me, stared down the dark hallway leading to the prop room. I think it came from the back.
