Death in the Spotlight: A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery 07 (A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery, 7)

Product Information

I wondered whether Martita might be the sort of person, like our friend Lavinia, whose bark was worse than her bite. I am a maid, and I am completing the task I have been given by my employer, which is to bring the girls to the theatre and ensure they are safe. Hazel is really embarrassed but very pleased and Daisy and George exchange looks that look like they say “What just happened?

Danger has a nasty habit of catching up with the Detective Society though, and it soon becomes clear that there is trouble waiting in the wings at the Rue. The Body in the Blitz is the second sleuthing adventures in this action-packed series which delivers spills, thrills and laughter from first page to last, and is proving to be an all-round, hands-down, dead-cert winner. That morning there was a single rose, its petals cut in half, and a slash in one of Juliet’s ballgown costumes, right across her heart. Now that Miss Tree is here,’ Inigo went on, ignoring Martita’s sharp words, ‘I can introduce our two new company members.The first few days of our rehearsals at the Rue reminded me of what I already knew: that, although I have been getting better and better at being myself, even the thought of pretending to be someone else still sends me into hot and cold horrors.

These are just my ideas about what I hope will happen, to summarize; the Junior Pinkertons, detecting and romance! One thing I hope will happen in death in the spotlight is the police will find out that daisy and hazel are investigating and ban them from going the to the area where the murder happened.

While all the other actors and actresses are absent from the theatre, the actress playing Juliet stays on the stage to practice her lines. He had his arms out to hug her, and Martita stepped into the hug – but there was something about her movements that told me she did not really want to be hugged at all. Their clothes were so gorgeous it took me a few moments to notice the patches on their knees and the rips at their hems, the places where things had been twice mended with slightly different threads. It was interesting for it to be set in a theatre and I agree that a theatre is an excellent place to hold a fictional murder case!

I think Hazel and Daisy will be in some very dangerous situations as they come closer to solving the crime. But they’re not going straight back to school – first they’re staying with Daisy’s uncle Felix in his London flat.We will have new ones made, of course, at the printer’s expense, for this is clearly their fault … but do we really need to remove these straight away? Daisy sighed impatiently, but I could see she was thrilled by Aunt Lucy’s unusual lessons – particularly because they were secret.
