Full Synopsis
Torte—the beloved small-town bakeshop run by Jules Capshaw—is set to hit the stage. But who would have guessed that murder would makes a surprise appearance?

It's the role of a lifetime for Jules. The Shakespeare Festival has returned to Ashland, Oregon, for the season and Torte has been cast as the supplier of Elizabethan-era treats for the main event. But on the eve of opening night, a brawl between Jules's friend Lance, the artistic director, and a strapping young thespian named Anthony almost brings down the house . . . and the next morning, Anthony is dead. Jules knows that Lance loves his drama—and his just desserts—but she also knows that murder is way off-script for him. Now it's up to Jules to cut through a bevy of backstage betrayals and catty co-stars who all have their own secrets—before the curtain drops on someone else . . .

"She has a pleasant reading voice for the basic narration of the story and gives the characters recognizable voices. She adds the right amount of expression and feeling to her characters making her a narrator that I will watch for." —Carla Loves to Read

"Narrator Emily Durante particularly shines with her flamboyant portrayal of Lance. She captures Lance's terror, his anxiety upon the disappearance of the body, and his despair when he is arrested for the murder." ---AudioFile
