Description

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?

"Deering gives us an enchanting mystery set around an England country estate in the 1930s... Rules of Murder is a wonderful, inspirational novel for those of you who love a good murder mystery."--Fresh Fiction

Murder at the Mikado Julianna Deering is a great murder mystery book that kept me guessing til the very end. It was the third in a series, I believe, and I have not read the 2 books that came before this one. I could tell there was probably a back story that I had missed out on, but I did not feel lost at all when I read this book. I think she filled in enough of the details so that you do not have to have read the previous 2 books in order to understand what is going on in this one (although after reading this book, I would like to go back and read the others). This mystery kept me guessing right up until she revealed who the murderer was. I normally figure out whodunit way before it is revealed in the book, so this was a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed the characters and writing style of this author. This is the first book I have read by Julianna Deering and I look forward to reading more.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
