Dru’s Short Musing:
In this debut series, Misty seeks the person responsible for her mentor’s death.
This was a fun book where murder is afoot, and the investigation will keep you on your toes. The drama was nicely executed with enough suspense to keep me intrigued throughout. I liked the ease at which the story flowed, making it comfortable to follow along. The characters were well-developed, and you got to know them for who they are, not what they do, and the pivotal roles they played in this engaging and entertaining tale. There were plenty of suspects and the clues were the dressing on the side that when put together took us closer to the killer’s identity. There were a few twists and turns that enhanced my reading pleasure and a few humorous moments that made me laugh. Overall, an enjoyable read and look forward to the second book in the series.

Book Synopsis:
A poisoned chocolate. A stolen dress. An elusive catburglar. Drag’s not just dramatic, it’s deadly.
By day, Joe is a hotel accountant, invisibly sitting behind their desk and playing by the rules. By night, donned in sequins, they take to the stage as Misty Divine, a star of the London drag scene.
But when Misty’s drag mother, Lady Lady, is found dead in her dressing room beside a poisoned box of chocolates, Misty and her fellow performers become the prime suspects.
Heartbroken by the loss, and frustrated by the clear biases of the police, Misty must solve the crime before the culprit strikes again. Among the drop-dead gorgeous lurks a cutthroat killer, and Misty Divine won’t rest until she finds out who it is.
