Murder in Hollywood: A completely addictive and totally gripping historical cozy murder mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781836189169)

Lights, camera, action and... murder?

1934. Opal Laplume's star is on the rise when she gets a job making costumes for Hollywood's biggest talkie star, Jane Margeaux. But when Jane is fatally shot on set by a prop gun, and security guard Augusto finds a bullet missing from his pistol, it falls to Opal to save her favourite new friend from a wrongful murder accusation.

Opal soon discovers that Jane had a list of enemies as long as the train on her designer gown. Jane's co-star Betty envied her rise to fame, but did her jealousy take a deadly turn? Jane's loyal assistant Virginia was overworked and underpaid. Did she get Jane out of the way to get ahead at the studio? Or did Jane's fortune-hunting husband Carey see an opportunity to inherit his wife's jaw-dropping Sunset Boulevard mansion?

Just when Opal thinks she's found her prime suspect, a crew member is found dead in the California desert with a briefcase stuffed full of movie scripts. And a close look at the director's cut of Jane's latest picture reveals a secret message hidden in plain sight. Soon, Opal will find that Jane was hiding the biggest secret in Hollywood - one truly worth killing for.

Can Opal keep her English cool among the Tinseltown drama and crack the case before it's a wrap for the entire crew?

Grab a first-row seat to this fabulous and utterly charming Golden Age whodunnit full of glamour, intrigue and murder set in 1930s Hollywood. Fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Verity Bright won't be able to put this down!
