A THRILLING MURDER MYSTERY FROM AN EXCITING VOICE IN CRIME FICTION, PERFECT FOR FANS OF JANICE HALLETT AND TOM HINDLE
Meet Misty Divine - your favourite new amateur sleuth!
Drag queens aren't just dramatic. They're deadly...
By day, shy hotel accountant Joe hides behind their desk and plays by the rules.
By night, Joe takes to the stage as Misty Divine, an upcoming star of the London drag scene.
But when Misty’s mentor, Lady Lady, is found dead in her dressing room, Misty finds herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Because Lady Lady was murdered – and as the only ones with access to her room, Misty and her fellow performers quickly become prime suspects.
Heartbroken by the loss, and frustrated by the inaction of the police, Joe is determined to uncover the killer in their midst.
But what can they, a mere hotel accountant, possibly do?
This is a case for Misty Divine…

Critic reviews
A gloriously fun murder mystery set in the fabulous world of drag queens and kings with red herrings and twists that will keep you guessing until the end. Misty Divine is the star of the show! (C.L. Miller)
Smart and sassy, a sequin-studded murder mystery with blood on the runway. If RuPaul and Agatha Christie had a drag daughter, Holly Stars would murder her. Detective fiction has never been so glam! (A.J. West)
Misty Divine’s first show is a brilliantly funny mystery, with a sleuth as sharp as a stiletto heel. With an unforgettable cast of characters, and a mystery that sparkles as much as its star, Holly Stars has written a stunning debut that will keep you hooked until the final curtain! (Hannah Hendy)
A glittering whodunnit debut. What Miss Marple did with tweeds and knitting, Misty Divine does with rhinestones and stilettos. A twisty, sparkly mystery with a huge heart (Jenny Bayliss)
The fabulous Holly Stars has burst onto the cosy murder mystery scene with the amateur sleuth I never knew I needed – drag queen Misty Divine is fierce, confident, and oh so glamorous. I loved this cast of characters and witnessing Misty come into her own to solve the murder of her beloved mentor Lady Lady. Entertaining, touching, and a lot of fun, Murder in the Dressing Room was an absolute delight! (Ashley Tate)
Move over Miss Marple, there’s a new amateur detective in town, and she can solve murders in sequins and six inch heels. Cosy, clever and camp, with a truly unique heroine to cheer for, Murder in the Dressing Room is an absolute delight (Freya Sampson)
This had charisma, uniqueness, nerve & talent!!

I thought about Misty as a Nancy Drew or a Mary Sue, wonderful. And so many clichés, but executed so well still!! Her spidey-senses are tingling? Is it lame or do I love it!? This is the four stars as I cant make up my mind id its too much, too cheeay or absolutely right! A warm story about belonging and expression as well as full of humor and glam and neat observations. Wonderful way of describing the drag scene for readers who might not be familiar with it, but also recognition for the ones who are.
I did however enjoy reading the physical book more than listening to the audiobook. it's great that Holly Stars narrates this herself. So the 4 stars is purely preference from my behalf because I struggle so much with focus and attention when listening to audiobooks that the narrating is very important for the experience and have to be very particular for me.
There's few where it's JUST right for me
Holly Stars was simply not a fit for me. I still think she did a great job with writing the book and narrating it. I really felt for Misty/Joe and fell I love with some of the characters. We could all do well with being a little bit more like Misty. my favourite line from the book I think must be when Holly describes drag artists as mystical powerful creatures. Joe finds so much strength in being Misty and its beautiful. Looking forward to reading more about the Drag Queen/detective Misty Divine!
Nancy Drew, is that you... but drag!?
