The first book from the Gowns, Gossip, and Murder Series.

At midnight, the masks come off—and someone ends up dead.

When a murder disrupts a decadent masquerade party full of socialites, eccentrics, and scandalous secrets, one guest refuses to let the case go unsolved. Enter the Inspector: former cabaret star, full-time drama queen, and accidental sleuth with a sharp tongue, sharper intuition, and a wardrobe that deserves its own spotlight.

Armed with little more than charm, wit, and a suspiciously deep knowledge of people's dirty laundry, our reluctant detective must navigate a maze of jealous rivals, hidden affairs, and theatrical alibis. But as the guest list grows shorter—and the bodies start piling up—what began as a delicious bit of gossip spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse.

Full of laugh-out-loud moments, outrageous characters, and a genuinely twisty mystery at its heart, Murder at the Midnight Masquerade kicks off a dazzling new whodunnit series where the only thing more shocking than the killer... is the fashion.
