Publisher's summary

Someone is killing fairy godmothers in Cinderella... Can Miss Clara Vale crack the case before the clock strikes twelve?

1929, December: Snow is falling, and Miss Clara Vale is wrapped up against the cold as she braves the icy streets of Newcastle in her latest investigation.

When a young actress from the touring pantomime of Cinderella arrives at her door, Clara isn't sure what to make of her request. Sybil Langford, the legendary fairy godmother in their production, has mysteriously vanished. Could Clara help track her down?

But a few days into Clara's search, Sybil's body is pulled from an icy river, and Clara finds herself in the middle of yet another murder mystery.

With scheming stepsisters waiting in the wings, handsome princes who aren't all they seem, and clues as elusive as glass slippers, Clara will need every one of her scientific skills to catch the killer...

And when Sybil's replacement meets her own tragic end, Clara is in a race against time before the murderer sends a third cast member to their unhappily ever after...

The perfect Golden Age mystery to curl up with by the fire. Fans of Agatha Christie, Helena Dixon and Verity Bright will be gripped by this historical crime novel from the very first page.

very good

I love this series. It's well-written, the characters are interesting and the mystery keeps you guessing. I also love the historical footnotes at the end.

Excellent read!

This book was so enjoyable, from beginning to end. And the narrator had the perfect voice and intonations throughout.

I’m actually disappointed it came to an end. That being said, now I plan to get the entire series. The author spins a great story, so I
cannot wait to hear more!

Well written, good plot, smart protagonist, and cast of characters that are quickly becoming regulars. Really like this new series!
