Hattie Steals the Show
There will be scores to settle when Hattie is caught up in a murder related to the production of a musical in a grand Tudor house -- in the new Theatreland mystery.
Hattie Steals the Show by Patrick Gleeson follows the intriguing tale of stage manager Hattie Cocker. While exploring the West End theatre in preparation for her new temporary gig, she unexpectedly stumbles upon the dead body of the current musical's composer.
A week later, the prime suspect in the murder case appears at Hattie's doorstep, pleading for her assistance in proving his innocence. To help him, Hattie must locate a missing musical score. Her search leads her to the grand country home of producer Sir Trevor Dougray, where she is stage managing a two-week workshop for his new show.
As layers of deception unfold, Hattie finds herself questioning whom she truly knows and whom she can trust...
