Feathers, diamonds, showgirls, oh la la... Paris is everything Opal Laplume could dream of. But she wasn't expecting to be cast as the lead detective in a murder case...
Paris, 1930. The Honourable Opal Laplume has just started working as a seamstress in the most glamorous cabaret in Paris. The stage is set for a spectacular opening night, but tragedy strikes when the star of the show, Valentine Beaumanoir falls from her hotel balcony.
The police believe it's an accident, but Opal isn't convinced. Witnesses heard Valentine shout for help before she fell. But if she was pushed, how could the culprit have escaped when her room was locked from the inside? And who left a perfect white rose on her bedside table?
When a deadly note to another dancer is found, Opal ditches her threads and thimbles to take charge of the case. Stepping backstage, she finds everyone had a reason to want Valentine dead. The chorus girls were jealous of Valentine's spot in the limelight. But did one of them want the lead role that badly? Before she fell, Valentine called out the name of her beau, costumier Christophe. Could the show-stopping murder have been a crime of passion?
But just as Opal thinks she's on track to solve the mystery, the theatre is rocked by a murder on stage, where once again the killer vanishes into thin air. Opal soon realises a bigger plot is unfolding. Can she keep her composure and catch the cabaret killer? Or will it be her final curtain call?
Step into the glittery world of Paris in this totally addictive Golden Age whodunnit full of glamorous intrigue, mystery and murder. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, T.E. Kinsey and Verity Bright.
