Last Scene Alive: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery (2018)

In the ordinarily quiet town of Lawrenceton, excitement bubbles over as Hollywood descends to film "Whimsical Murder", a movie based on a novel by Robin Daniels, a former resident and crime novelist. This intriguing tale, featuring characters drawn from real townspeople, parallels the life of Aurora Teagarden, fondly known as "Ro", the mystery-solving librarian and an active member of the Real Murders Discussion Club. Robin, who once dated Ro, adds a layer of personal intrigue to the story, much to the discomfort of Ro's ex-CIA turned businessman boyfriend, Martin Bartell. With the whole town swept up in movie-magic, the set becomes a hotbed of intrigue and suspense. Even Ro's realtor mother, Aida Teagarden, charms her way into the role of location scout, catching the eye of the movie's director, Joel Parker, in the process. However, the glamour quickly fades when Celia Shaw, the star actress portraying Adelaide, Ro's movie counterpart, is found brutally murdered in her trailer. This shocking discovery plunges the town into a chilling real-life mystery, with suspicions hinting at an insider's hand in the gruesome crime. As Police Chief Lynn Smith attempts to keep Ro at bay, the Real Murders Discussion Club, including the return of Lynn's Police Detective husband Arthur Smith, rallies to uncover the truth. Ro, in her unyielding resolve, leads the charge, compelled to clear the name of Robin Daniels and navigate a maze of suspects. Yet, as the plot thickens, it becomes clear that Celia's past romantic involvement with Robin and the parallels with Ro could make her the next target. Now, Ro must outsmart a cunning killer, even while under the threat of becoming their next victim, ensuring that the last scene alive is not her own. This gripping tale of mystery and murder weaves a web of intrigue that blurs the line between fiction and reality, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
