Murder of a Movie Star (Posie Parker Mystery #5)
L.B. Hathaway
London, 1923
As England swelters during the hottest summer on record, Posie Parker, Private Detective, is summoned to Worton Hall Film Studios, where she steps into the heart of a sinister new mystery.
Silvia Hanro, the famously beautiful movie star, has received death threats alongside her morning coffee, and Posie is tasked with protecting her. Aided by her good friends Lady Dolly Cardigeon and Chief Inspector Ricard Lovelace, Posie soon realises that behind the cheap canvas sets and the dreamy glamour of Worton Hall Studios a dreadful secret lays buried, and traitors lurk everywhere.
And then, good as their word, the killer strikes...
Can Posie unravel the clues and uncover the murderer before they kill again?
This is a stylish Golden Age of Crime mystery which will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey. 'Murder of a Movie Star' is the fifth book in the Posie Parker Mystery Series, although the novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right.
