A GLITTERING NEW COSY MYSTERY STARRING EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE DRAG QUEEN TURNED AMATEUR SLEUTH, MISTY DIVINE...
Photographer Jeremy Edmunds has vanished without a trace. Last known location? Soho.
As the owner of Lady’s Bar, no one knows the city – and its secrets – better than drag queen Misty Divine. So who better to help private detective Sylvester Green follow this missing man’s trail than the Queen of Soho herself?
But no sooner has one mystery landed, than another one takes Misty by surprise.
Because the next day, Sylvester is back. The difference? Yesterday, he was alive. Today, it’s his dead body on her doorstep.
With danger drawing in, Misty must take Sylvester’s investigation into her perfectly manicured hands. Can she solve the case, and find the missing photographer?
Or will the next murder to solve be her own?

'Misty Divine’s first show is a brilliantly funny mystery, with a sleuth as sharp as a stiletto heel' HANNAH HENDY
'Entertaining, touching, and a lot of fun, Murder in the Dressing Room was an absolute delight!' ASHLEY TATE

Misty Divine has me holding my breath as if I were right there, investigating with her. She's the superhero the world needs right now and forever

The LGBT community has its own Warrior Queen! All hail Misty Divine! I devoured this wonderful novel...how brilliant to have a proud, unapologetic voice like Misty's to speak out for the LGBT community. Plus - it's a cracking good detective story; as salty and humorous and compelling as the very best drag acts...a rollercoaster read
bestselling author of The Retired Teacher Mysteries

Drama from the very first sentence...this mystery is a real action adventure and thrill ride from beginning to end

With sequins shining and danger lurking backstage, this is a murder mystery where identity matters as much as motive

I love Murder In The Dressing Room! What a fantastic read...I couldn’t put the book down until I found out exactly who the culprit was and it was a shock to find out who did it! So sneaky! It was such a thrill to read and every single character came to life in my mind. Holly is such an imaginative writer and storyteller. I could see the places and faces in my mind and I was hooked from the first paragraph. Through reading every page I was one hundred percent invested and felt as if I were a drag queen detective myself. Call me JUJU MISTY BEE moving forward. I can’t wait for the next installment of this one of its kind story. The best drag show I’ve ever been to!!! I need more now
