Like every actor, Ivy Meadows knows that Macbeth is cursed. But she's finally scored her big break, cast as an acrobatic witch in a circus-themed production of Macbeth in Phoenix, Arizona. And though it may not be Broadway, nothing can dampen her enthusiasm-not her flying caldron, too-tight leotard, or carrot-wielding dictator of a director. But when one of the cast dies on opening night, Ivy is sure the seeming accident is "murder most foul" and that she's the perfect person to solve the crime (after all, she does work part-time in her uncle's detective agency). Undeterred by a poisoned Big Gulp, the threat of being blackballed, and the suddenly too-real curse, Ivy pursues the truth at the risk of her hard-won career-and her life.

If I could give it more than 5, I would. (It's books like this that make me question other 5s I have given.) It's not very often that I sit down with a book and, when done, can't find a single thing wrong with it. There always seems to be something that bugs me, at least a little bit. Either there...
Thanks Henery Press and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest review. This was a fun, cute little mystery set in the theatre world. The play is MacBeth and apparently it's bad luck to say the name of the play in the theatre. When things start happening, Ivy Matth...
I felt like such a fool. Another Shakespearean concept. He wrote about two kinds of fools, though. There were the fools who were really wise, like Lear's fool, and then there were the poor deluded suckers like Duncan who believed in friends who killed them in their sleep. So which was I?
