'Frances Brody has made it to the top rank of crime writers' Daily
Mail A theatre party Yorkshire, 1927. Eclipse fever grips the
nation, and when beloved theatre star Selina Fellini approaches
trusted sleuth Kate Shackleton to accompany her to a viewing party
at Giggleswick School Chapel, Kate suspects an ulterior motive. A
dead body discovered During the eclipse, Selina's friend and
co-star Billy Moffatt disappears and is later found dead in the
chapel grounds. Kate can't help but dig deeper and soon learns that
two other members of the theatre troupe died in similarly
mysterious circumstances in the past year. With the help of Jim
Sykes and Mrs Sugden, Kate sets about investigating the deaths -
and whether there is a murderer in the company. An elusive killer
must be caught When Selina's elusive husband Jarrod, injured in the
war and subject to violent mood swings, comes back on the scene,
Kate begins to imagine something far deadlier at play, and wonders
just who will be next to pay the ultimate price for fame . . .
Praise for Frances Brody's Kate Shackleton series: 'Frances Brody
matches a heroine of free and independent spirit with a vivid
evocation of time and place . . . a novel to cherish' Barry Turner,
Daily Mail 'Brody's excellent mystery splendidly captures the
conflicts and attitudes of the time with well-developed characters'
RT Book Reviews 'Kate Shackleton is a splendid heroine' Ann Granger
'Kate Shackleton joins Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs in a
subgroup of young, female amateur detectives who survived and were
matured by their wartime experiences. As self-reliant women in a
society that still regards them a second-class citizens, they make
excellent heroines' Literary Review 'Frances Brody skilfully holds
our attention, making us want to read on and then look forward to
the next Kate Shackleton mystery' Gazette & Herald 'Kate
Shackleton is a delightful leading character. The flavour of post
First World War England is beautifully portrayed. An enjoyable and
gripping mystery story' CrimeSquad.com 'The author keeps us highly
entertained with an interesting and exciting plot, impeccably
researched, and a style of writing that has the reader turning the
pages eagerly to discover the truth of the mystery. Francis Brody
is fast becoming "the queen of light crime fiction"' Gazette &
Herald 'This is whimsical, colourful stuff and readers will warm to
the entrepreneurial yet fragile Kate' Take a Break 'Refreshing and
highly entertaining, especially for the winter nights' Gazette
& Herald
