Meet Posie ‘Nosey’ Parker: hopeless romantic, war survivor, girl about town, and now… Detective? London, February, 1921. Posie Parker always dreamt of becoming a Private Detective. So with nothing to lose, and the tiniest scrap of an inheritance and her haughty cat, Mr Minks, in tow, she sets up her own Detective Agency in Bloomsbury. But clients are hard to come by, and all seems in vain, until Posie receives an urgent call from her childhood friend, Lord Rufus Cardigeon, who is up to his neck in bother. He’s been robbed of a family heirloom - the priceless Maharajah diamond - by his showgirl fiancée, Lucky Lucy Gibson, and he’s become the Number One suspect in the shooting of a mysterious man in the lobby of the Ritz Hotel. Rufus swears he’s innocent, and it’s up to Posie to investigate, all with Scotland Yard breathing down her neck. Aided by her seriously gorgeous assistant Len Irving, and a new friend, ex-suffragette Dolly Price, Posie starts to hunt for the missing fiancée, Lucky Lucy Gibson, the key to all the mayhem. But the darkly-glamorous world of London’s theatre proves a hornet’s nest of danger. Just who exactly was the murdered man at the Ritz Hotel? Why has Mr Minks, Posie’s cat, been stolen? And when Dolly Price suddenly vanishes, Posie has to face up to a far greater enemy than she could ever have imagined. A daring enemy who has already lined Posie up as the next victim… Murder Offstage is the first book in the Posie Parker Mystery Series. If you love cozy golden age intrigue-packed mysteries, you won’t be able to put this down! For fans of Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey and Lee Strauss. To be the first to hear about L.B.
