Murder at the Silver Shoes Jazz Club: A twisty and utterly addictive historical British cozy mystery

A nightmare client. A secret jazz club. An interview with London’s hottest band. And an impostor on her heels… For Posie Parker, it’s just another day at the office!

London, 1926. After a short leave of absence, Private Detective Posie Parker is back—and with a bang! Her first assignment? Interview the dazzling Eglantine DuBarry and Jack Smeaton of ‘The Banana Splits’, the most talked-about jazz band in town, who seem to have troubles aplenty. But before the ink is dry, Posie lands an even more notorious client: Lady Hilda Kilcoyne, a scandalous sportswoman convinced her war-hero husband wants her dead.

As Posie digs into both cases, trouble multiplies. A rival “girl detective” is undercutting her rates. A mudlark delivers a mysterious ancient necklace with a dangerous history. A blackmailer threatens Posie’s precious marriage to Richard Lovelace, Commissioner of Scotland Yard. And is someone following Posie all about town?

Two of her cases suddenly collide when along comes the invitation that changes everything, an exclusive night at the underground Silver Shoes Jazz Club, where masks hide secrets and half of London’s glitterati gather.

But when the music stops and two women—including Lady Hilda—end up dead on stage, Posie finds herself chasing a killer with a flair for drama. To solve the case, she must untangle a web of false identities, buried scandals, a centuries-old puzzle, and very dangerous obsessions—before the murderer strikes again.

A twisty, glamorous unputdownable historical British cozy mystery set against the backdrop of the Great Strike and the Jazz Age. Get ready for romance, red herrings, and murder galore! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey, T.E. Kinsey, Benedict Brown, and Verity Bright.
