In the third Drew Farthering Mystery, Drew is begged to intercede on behalf of his old flame Fleur Landis, an actress who loved the idea of drawing young men and then spurning them when they fell at her feet. Now, she is married to his business partner and the prime suspect in the murder of a local actor.

When Fleur asks for his help, he refuses, but when her husband asks, Drew can't force himself to refuse again. Drew and Nick are drawn into another investigation. With Madeline at his side, Drew is convinced he can solve the riddle this murder represents.

Madeline is intimidated by the striking beauty and the history Drew shares with Fleur. She calls off the wedding with only a couple of weeks to go. When a second murder occurs and without Madeline by his side, Drew nearly abandons the quest, but with nothing left to lose and an enigmatic promise to learn more about his mother, Drew presses on with the investigation.

Drew Farthering is a charming young man who has the ability to get people to talk to him. MURDER AT THE MIKADO continues the Drew Farthering Mystery series with an intricately plotted mystery. No one at the theater is who they seem, and Drew will be forced to uncover secrets people would prefer stay hidden. Julianna Deering has done a splendid job of drawing in the reader and keeping them guessing. The revelations at the end will surprise and delight the reader.
