Murder at the Mikado by Julianna Deering

Murder at the Mikado by Julianna Deering

This book was supplied to me by Bethany House Publishers in exchange for a review.

Description of Story

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?

My Book Review

This is the first book that I have read by Julianne Deering.  On Murder Mysteries, she is a wonderful Author.  If I read another Murder Mystery, I will definitely pickup a book by Julianne Deering.

This book was pretty good once I got into the story.  Since I didn’t read the first 2 books, it was definitely hard for me to understand what was going on.  But, after I got all that clear in my head, it was a GREAT book.

A woman enters Drew’s life again and wants his help, well, begs for his help.  At first, he doesn’t want this, but then he gives in.  So, him, Nick, Madeline (his fiancé) start investigating.  This is all going on while Madeline and Drew are planning their wedding and it is very difficult for them.  I would suggest this book to everyone.

I am not going to say anyting else or I will spoil it for you.  There are so many things that happen, you will just have to experience them yourself.

I will definitely suggest this book to my friends and family.
