the Body Under Stage: An addictive murder mystery in Bloomington, MN

Georgina Drake - photographer, proud mum, and amateur detective - tackles a case that's a little too close to home...
Georgina Drake is taking promo photos of a dress rehearsal of
Macbeth
, and her daughter Bea's first starring role. But the drama becomes distressingly real when one of the actors, Neil Faulkner, is found stabbed to death. And Georgie is dismayed to see a faint spatter of blood on her daughter's arm.
Georgie knows Bea isn't a murderer, but the local police don't seem inclined to trust her admittedly biased opinion. And when a distraught Bea admits that Neil was blackmailing her, things start to look serious. Undaunted, Georgie decides to prove her daughter's innocence, even if she has to solve the case herself.
But if Bea isn't the murderer, then who is? Someone is more than happy to let Bea take their place behind bars, and they aren't happy about Georgie's snooping. If she doesn't tread carefully, she might end up as the next body beneath the stage...
An addictive and completely gripping cosy crime novel. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Faith Martin and
Midsomer Murders
.
