A beautiful celebration of the dead. A charming family bed and breakfast. And a killer determined to make the holiday terrifyingly real.
Juliet Henry accepts Esteban's invitation to attend the DÃas de los Muertos celebration in Mirada, expecting color, tradition, art, music, food, and a meaningful remembrance of those who have passed on.
She does not expect murder.
The family bed-and-breakfast should be a warm refuge during the festival-a place filled with guests, conversation, celebration, and the rich beauty of a holiday devoted to memory and love. But before Juliet can fully settle into the rhythms of Mirada, death arrives in a far more sinister form.
One of the guests is found dead.
And this death was not natural, accidental, or symbolic.
It was murder.
Now the joyful celebration takes on a darker edge. Candles, flowers, masks, altars, and painted skulls no longer feel merely decorative. Every face in the crowd may hide a secret. Every guest at the bed-and-breakfast becomes a possible suspect. And every tradition honoring the dead becomes a chilling reminder that a living killer is walking among them.
The murderer has already struck once.
Juliet knows there may be more to come.
As fear spreads through the festival and suspicion settles over the household, Miss Henry must sort through tangled motives, hidden grudges, family secrets, and dangerous lies. In a town filled with color and celebration, the truth may be buried beneath layers of performance, memory, and betrayal.
Can Juliet expose the killer before another body is added to the celebration?
Or will Mirada's DÃas de los Muertos festival become a blood-soaked tribute to the dead?
Death Arts delivers a vivid and atmospheric Miss Henry mystery filled with art, tradition, suspense, and classic cozy whodunit appeal. Perfect for readers who enjoy clever heroines, unusual festival settings, colorful suspects, cultural atmosphere, and mysteries where beauty and danger walk hand in hand.
Juliet Henry came to Mirada to honor the dead.
Now she must protect the living.
Because this year, someone is not just remembering death-they are creating it.
