Movie Scripts and Madness

From bestselling romantic comedy author Melissa Baldwin comes a riveting cozy mystery series! I've always dreamed of landing a starring role in a movie filled with action, adventure, love, and maybe even a little murder. I just never imagined I'd end up living in one. As an aspiring actress, I left my ordinary life in Phoenix behind and headed to Hollywood, hoping the bright lights would lead me to stardom. Working as the assistant to the miserable Marketing Director at Blossom Studios wasn't exactly glamorous, but I thought it might be my stepping stone. When I finally get my hands on an audition script, I'm determined not to let anything get in my way. What I didn't expect was the return of my arch-nemesis, the attention of a very charming actor, or stumbling across a dead body. Suddenly, I'm caught up in the chaos taking over the studio. With every strange event—including my boss's sudden disappearance—I find myself right in the thick of it, under the watchful eye of the handsome detective leading the investigation. Could the key to it all lie in a recently canceled movie, or has the answer been right in front of me all along? Someone is bent on destroying Blossom Studios, and they'll stop at nothing to succeed. Now, I must solve this mystery—not just to clear my name, but to save my life.

Room Service and Murder

Fans of Movie Scripts and Madness will be captivated by this second book in the Madness and Murder Cozy Mystery series. There's never a dull day working in the hotel industry. Drug busts, arrests, plenty of clandestine escapades, and parties so wild they'd put fraternities to shame. The last thing I expect is to walk into a guest room and discover the lifeless body of my friend. Though all signs point to a self-inflicted death, I don't believe it. Determined to find justice for her, I'm suddenly looking at everyone like a suspect. Could it be the former child actress, the overworked assistant, a long-lost relative, or even the delicious new manager, Max who always seems to distract me from my mission? Can I uncover the truth before the body count rises—and I become the next victim?
