the Rebecca Orange Castle Cozy Mystery- Murder at Masquerade

Murder, masquerades, and monarchy- what else would you expect from Rebecca Orange?With her engagement to the Duke finally official, exotic animal trainer turned amateur sleuth Rebecca Orange thought the hardest part would be picking a dress. But in Monrovia, royal engagements mean one thing: an elaborate castle masquerade, packed with foreign dignitaries, curious villagers, and enough political tension to make even the castle's pasta-eating giraffe nervous.When the lights suddenly go out and an ambassador is found murdered mid-soirée, Rebecca and her ever-faithful (and perpetually hungry) Tibetan Mastiff, Joe, are once again thrust into a high-stakes investigation-one that could spiral into an international disaster.With the help of castle-manager Maggie, her favorite reluctant ally Officer Basilier (and Basilier's beloved stun gun), and a guest list full of masked suspects, Rebecca must navigate diplomatic secrets, wedding stress, and Monrovia's notoriously complicated castle traditions... all while wondering if marrying into royalty comes with just a few too many murder investigations.Because in Monrovia, happily-ever-after always comes with a twist- and sometimes, a body count.Perfect for fans of royal gossip, clever mysteries, and slow-burn romance with a castle-sized serving of whimsy.
