Ticket to Die (Castle Claude Mysteries #2) [9781250360236]

Overview

A spring break excursion on a murder mystery train goes criminally wrong in this follow-up to Amanda Sellet’s YA cozy mystery rom-com Flirting with Murder.

High school junior Virginia Tillis isn’t jetting off to Florida for spring break, so she figures the highlight of her week will be sleeping in . . . until her eccentric Grandma Lainey shows up at her house and invites her merry band of retired actor neighbors to crash the party—along with Felix, Virginia’s new long-distance boyfriend.

When the entire group takes a ride on a murder mystery train run by her grandmother’s old friend Teddy, they expect to solve a fictional crime in theatrical style—until the leading lady vanishes. Did Teddy do away with his co-star? Or is there another culprit on this mystery train?

With a storm closing in and suspects galore, Virginia, Felix, and their golden age crew have to figure out what happened to the missing actress, clear Teddy’s name, and decide if dating someone in a different state is worth the aggravation . . . before they reach the end of the line and spring break is dead in its tracks.
