Description

As the manager and booking agent for Atlanta's famous Castle Rock concert venue, Amelia "Ame" Grace is ready for the most exciting week of her career: she's booked three shows and a live DVD-filming for the comeback tour of none other than the Pop Rock Prince himself, Bobby Glitter! Before the rock star can take a bow on the first night, however, trouble steals the show as Castle Rock's owner takes a deadly tumble from atop the venue's tower. To make matters worse, the police suspect foul play—and all signs point to two of Castle Rock's own employees. Ame soon finds herself in a race against time to clear the names of her friends and uncover the truth before the killer decides it's curtains for her too!

"Stoddard isn't afraid to write about the seedier aspects of rock 'n' roll and the backstage goings-on...The book emphasizes rock 'n' roll, but not at the expense of the mystery, which is packed with surprises. There are so many layers, motives, and hidden agendas that I had a good time untangling it all." -P.J. Morse, Author of "Heavy Mental" 

"Murder at Castle Rock is Amelia Grace's first appearance and I hope it won't be her last. She is one of those heroines you'd like to be friends with, and you'll find yourself rooting for her throughout the novel. I also found myself becoming invested in her friends and co-workers, and hope that they become recurring characters. It's always nice to discover a new author, and I look forward to reading more of Anne Marie Stoddard's work." -Cozy Mystery Book Reviews
