When Cookie Chanel moonlights as a costume designer for a local theater, murder takes center stage . . .

Folks say the Sugar Creek Theater is haunted. But that doesn’t scare off Cookie Chanel, owner of Georgia’s chicest vintage clothing store, It’s Vintage Y’All—especially since Cookie talks to the ghost of her grandmother every day through her cat Wind Song. Still, after she agrees to be in charge of costumes for a production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, she’s surprised to find the specter of a young woman in the theater, keeping watch over a trunk of 1950s dresses. And when Cookie's best friend Heather is found standing over a stabbed actor, she has two mysteries to solve. This is not a dress rehearsal. A desperate killer is waiting in the wings. If Cookie doesn't tread the boards lightly, it'll be curtains for her as well . .

Cookie Chanel has agreed to help out with the costumes for the upcoming production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, whilst going through the costumes in the basement she comes across a trunk of clothes, vintage clothes and the next thing is a young woman (ghost) from the 1950's has joined Cookie and Cookie's resident ghost Charlotte! Just as they are finding out about her (her name is Peggy) the three of them hear a scream and when they get upstairs they see Cookie's close friend Heather with blood over her hands standing over the body of one of the other actors.  

Now Cookie and Charlotte (with the help of Wind Song the cat/Cookie's grandmother) need to find out what happened to Peggy, who killed Morris and most importantly keep Heather out of jail!
