When the curtain rises at the historic Eversham Playhouse, the last thing anyone expects is a body in the audience. But as the leading lady belts out her final note, a prominent theater critic is found dead—in the third row, seat C.

Detective Clara Jennings, a sharp-eyed investigator with little patience for theatrics, is thrust into a world of rival actors, hidden grudges, and backstage secrets. Every member of the cast and crew has something to hide, and the deeper Clara digs, the more she realizes the critic's death was no spontaneous act—it was staged with chilling precision.

As the play continues night after night, Clara must unravel a web of jealousy, ambition, and betrayal before the killer claims another victim. Because in this theater, the drama doesn't end on the stage.

Death in the Third Row is a gripping murder mystery that will keep readers guessing until the final bow.
