Summary
When Fi went to support her best friend’s drag debut, she didn’t imagine a killer would be going to watch it too. And they’re waiting for their grand finale…
Fi McKinnery is full of nerves as the gorgeous Mae B (aka her best friend Robyn) takes to the stage for her debut at drag club TRASH, but Mae B is dazzling…that is until local queen Eve lampoons her performance and ruins the show. So when Eve turns up dead later that night, face down in the gutter of a rain-soaked Dublin street, the timing seems awfully suspicious…
The police are quick to rule Eve’s death an accident, but Fi is convinced it was foul play. When her ‘Hagatha Christie’ amateur sleuthing backfires, it drives a wedge between Fi and Robyn. But when another friend is targeted in a hit-and-run, she’s determined to get this twisted killer caught, no matter what the consequences.
Even as the rest of the gang start to distance themselves, Fi is certain that they’re all in terrible danger. Something dark is lurking beneath the feathers, glitter and sequins of Dublin’s drag scene. And it’s not just the sticky floor and cracked mirrors. Someone is targeting the queens. When another member of the group is gunned down, it’s clear the danger is coming ever closer. Can Fi stop the killer before any more of her friends are hurt?
Critic reviews
“Ell Potter portrays the queens who work at the drag club Trash.… Particularly well rendered by Potter are their loving and supportive family members.… Potter skillfully moves from snarky tones to delight and apprehension. She flawlessly renders this memorable story and its characters.”—AudioFile Magazine
“Narrator Ell Potter uses perfectly modulated tones to capture Fi’s range of emotions, from timidness at the drag club to anger and deep sadness as her investigation threatens her friendships.… Well-loved tropes and expectations are present, while others are turned around in a way that keeps the story, especially the final reveal, fresh and exciting. Wonderfully flawed and relatable Fi will charm cozy mystery fans. Listeners will be eager for the next installment in this sparkling series.”—Library Journal
“Dublin’s flamboyant drag scene provides the backdrop for Murphy’s scintillating debut and series launch…Readers will eagerly await the sequel.”—Publishers Weekly

Decent..
Great performance. A bit of a slow book for me, for a murder mystery nothing happened until the end. The conflict between besties was over nothing and over night. If it was left for when more things happened down the line it’d be more believable and the ending was predictable but it was written nicely.
