And One to Die On — Jane Haddam

A BIRTHDAY BASH TO DIE FOR!
That's what Bennis Hannaford and ex-FBI special agent Gregor Demarkian are in for when they accept an invitation to the one hundredth birthday party of a Hollywood legend. The reclusive Tasheba Kent, femme fatale of the silent screen, is opening up her island off the coast of Maine for a sumptuous gala to celebrate a life filled with romance and scandal.

Nearly sixty years ago, Tasheba's offscreen rivalry with her equally famous sister, Lilith Brayne, led to a public battle for the love of Lilith's husband, handsome Cavender Marsh ... and ended with Lilith's suspicious death. Now among Tasheba's guests is Cavender and Lilith's long-abandoned daughter, as well as a rabid memorabilia collector, a conscientious accountant, and a secretive reporter. All have come to toast the immortal star. But a killer stalks the island. And when death strikes, Gregor must stop the culprit ... or none of them will celebrate their next birthday.
