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.
When a CELEBRATED ACTOR IS FOUND MURDERED IN HIS DRESSING
ROOM, All signs point to Drew's Old Flame. But Behind the
Curtains nothing is what it seems and this Quickly Becomes
his MOST puzzling case YET.
Just as Drew Farthering thinks his life has calmed down
some, Fleur Landis, a former girlfriend, reappears, in dire
need of his help. She's married now, no longer an
actress--but the lead actor in her former troupe's
production of The Mikado has been murdered, and Fleur is the
police's number one suspect.
Drew would rather focus on his fiancée, Madeline Parker, and
their upcoming wedding, but he can't leave Fleur and her
family in the lurch--even if she did break his heart once.
As Drew, Nick, and Madeline begin investigating, they
discover more going on behind the scenes of the theater
troupe than could ever have been imagined. It seems nearly
everyone had a motive, and alibis are few and far between.
Both the murder case and the presence of the beautiful,
exotic Fleur put a heavy strain on Drew and Madeline's
relationship. Will their still-young romance survive the
pressure?
