Reel Secrets is the tenth book in the Gift Shop Mysteries fiction series.

Amid a cold and dreary January, a classic film festival opens in Port Huron to help combat the winter blues. Held at the Majestic, a vintage movie theater, the festival features Loretta Vale, a revered Port Huron resident. The popular 1950s film star lives a quiet life in town, and no one is more surprised than Sarah when she gets a call from the actress, asking for Sarah’s help to sell some of Loretta’s memorabilia.

However, when Sarah meets the aged performer, it’s clear that she may need other help as well. Loretta has secrets–ones she hopes to bring to light in order to gain some closure. However, her side of the story falls under suspicion when a popular podcaster scrutinizes Loretta and has some interesting tales to tell. Sarah must separate the truth from fiction if she is to give Loretta the closure she desperately seeks.
