A THRILLING MURDER MYSTERY FROM AN EXCITING VOICE IN CRIME FICTION, PERFECT FOR FANS OF JANICE HALLETT AND TOM HINDLE

Meet Misty Divine - your favourite new amateur sleuth!

Drag queens aren't just dramatic. They're deadly...

By day, shy hotel accountant Joe hides behind their desk and plays by the rules.

By night, Joe takes to the stage as Misty Divine, an upcoming star of the London drag scene.

But when Misty’s mentor, Lady Lady, is found dead in her dressing room, Misty finds herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

Because Lady Lady was murdered – and as the only ones with access to her room, Misty and her fellow performers quickly become prime suspects.

Heartbroken by the loss, and frustrated by the inaction of the police, Joe is determined to uncover the killer in their midst.

But what can they, a mere hotel accountant, possibly do?

This is a case for Misty Divine…

Critic reviews

A gloriously fun murder mystery set in the fabulous world of drag queens and kings with red herrings and twists that will keep you guessing until the end. Misty Divine is the star of the show! (C.L. Miller)
Smart and sassy, a sequin-studded murder mystery with blood on the runway. If RuPaul and Agatha Christie had a drag daughter, Holly Stars would murder her. Detective fiction has never been so glam! (A.J. West)
Misty Divine’s first show is a brilliantly funny mystery, with a sleuth as sharp as a stiletto heel. With an unforgettable cast of characters, and a mystery that sparkles as much as its star, Holly Stars has written a stunning debut that will keep you hooked until the final curtain! (Hannah Hendy)
A glittering whodunnit debut. What Miss Marple did with tweeds and knitting, Misty Divine does with rhinestones and stilettos. A twisty, sparkly mystery with a huge heart (Jenny Bayliss)
The fabulous Holly Stars has burst onto the cosy murder mystery scene with the amateur sleuth I never knew I needed – drag queen Misty Divine is fierce, confident, and oh so glamorous. I loved this cast of characters and witnessing Misty come into her own to solve the murder of her beloved mentor Lady Lady. Entertaining, touching, and a lot of fun, Murder in the Dressing Room was an absolute delight! (Ashley Tate)
Move over Miss Marple, there’s a new amateur detective in town, and she can solve murders in sequins and six inch heels. Cosy, clever and camp, with a truly unique heroine to cheer for, Murder in the Dressing Room is an absolute delight (Freya Sampson)

This had charisma, uniqueness, nerve & talent!!

I absolutely adored this read! Misty is the hero we desperately need in this world, especially at this moment. The book evoked a strange sense of nostalgia for me, reminiscent of Scooby-Doo with its murder mystery vibe and comedic elements. However, it also took me to an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race, UK edition. I eagerly anticipate the next adventure of DI Divines.

Fun, witty, and brilliantly read

The book is a romp, it’s everything you could hope for from a drag murder mystery and is superbly delivered by Holly Stars (so refreshing to have a reader who isn’t a posh bore)
