It's pantomime season in Little Shaw, and librarian Ginny Cole has been roped in to help. The local theatre has persuaded national treasure and famously difficult diva, Monica Larkwell, to star in their production of Mother Goose, and while the celebrity's return to the village after thirty years hasn't exactly gone smoothly, at least nobody's dead. Until, that is, Ginny discovers Monica's body in her dressing room, crushed beneath a fallen chandelier.
Sure that this was no accident, Ginny gathers up the widows' detective club and takes on the role of amateur sleuth. But between navigating Monica's volatile entourage and unearthing secrets the actress spent decades trying to bury, this case is messier than anything Little Shaw has seen before. And then there's the CCTV footage: the culprit was caught on camera, disguised in a giant, purple, feathered goose costume...
The widows have faced some strange cases, but a killer in a comedy bird suit...? But there's nothing funny about murder, and if they don't solve this case soon, it might be curtains for them all.
A wonderfully twisty and hilarious cozy mystery perfect for fans of Robert Thorogood, Sarah Yarwood-Lovett and The Thursday Murder Club series.
