Crafts and Life

When Edwina “Sully” Sullivan’s life imploded, she left behind her job on the police force and her unfaithful husband to start a new life as the general manager of her hometown theater, the Cliffside Theater Company. For five years, she focused on budgets instead of crimes and kept the Cliffside running alongside its mercurial artistic director.

But when her best friend is arrested for killing his father, the rich and powerful Peter Whitehall, no one is looking for another suspect. So, in between keeping A Christmas Carol on budget and Scrooge sober, Sully dusts off her investigative skills to find a killer. Her two lives collide when her ex-husband gets on the suspect list and she’s forced to confront her past in order to save her present.

"Sully" Sullivan has settled into life back in her hometown after a few too many hiccups in her previous life (a workaholic police officer, she was then invalided out of the force, meanwhile her lawyer husband had an affair and then her Dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer!), she has taken a job as the manager of the local theatre which normally only has a Summer run, but in order to raise funds for the last few years they have put on a week of A Christmas Carol.  This year though the headline actor they have hired is a drunkard who can't remember his lines, Marley has walked out because he got a better paying gig and the local magnate has been shot! (he was also Sully's relative), so Sully has to dust off her investigative skills to make sure that the Show Will Go On!
