‘Listen to me, Misty. You’re in danger . . .’

These are the last words of stabbed private investigator Sylvester Green – before he is whisked away by ambulance from Soho’s Lady’s Bar.

Lady’s Bar’s glamorous owner, drag queen Misty Divine, hears in his words both a warning and a puzzle. Perhaps that’s why she’s less than candid with the police.

Because Misty has Sylvester’s notebook, which hints that she’s connected to the case he wanted to solve – the disappearance of Jeremy Edmunds.

But who is Jeremy? And will whoever hurt Sylvester come for Misty next?

With danger at her heels, Misty is determined to follow Sylvester’s clues and help bring Jeremy home.

But the deeper she digs, the more she realises that the link between her and whatever Jeremy was caught up in threatens to destroy everything she holds dear – including her beloved Lady’s Bar.

Can Misty find Jeremy, save Lady’s Bar, and solve the case? Or will the next disappearing act be her own…

Misty Divine has me holding my breath as if I were right there, investigating with her. She's the superhero the world needs right now and forever

I love Murder In The Dressing Room! What a fantastic read...I couldn’t put the book down until I found out exactly who the culprit was and it was a shock to find out who did it! So sneaky! It was such a thrill to read and every single character came to life in my mind. Holly is such an imaginative writer and storyteller. I could see the places and faces in my mind and I was hooked from the first paragraph. Through reading every page I was one hundred percent invested and felt as if I were a drag queen detective myself. Call me JUJU MISTY BEE moving forward. I can’t wait for the next installment of this one of its kind story. The best drag show I’ve ever been to!!! I need more now

Drama from the very first sentence...this mystery is a real action adventure and thrill ride from beginning to end

Misty’s back and camper than ever in this dramatic, OTT mystery. Witty and fun, this is a story of getting justice and learning to trust your instincts. I need more!

Blood, gore, and the sound of sparkling high heels on Soho Square. More fun than you can shake a foundation stick at - I loved it! Misty Divine rules the fictional London drag scene with quick wit

Praise for Holly Stars

With sequins shining and danger lurking backstage, this is a murder mystery where identity matters as much as motive

A brilliantly funny mystery, with a sleuth as sharp as a stiletto heel...will keep you hooked until the final curtain!

Smart and sassy, a sequin-studded murder mystery...detective fiction has never been so glam!
