An eighteenth-century sex worker goes undercover in the London theatre world and finds herself in the middle of a murder case in this historical mystery.
When an undercover assignment for the Bow Street magistrate sees prostituteLizzie Hardwicke trade Ma Farley’s Bawdy House in Soho for life as a theatre seamstress on Drury Lane, it becomes clear quite quickly—what goes on in the wings is much more intriguing than the theatrics being played out on stage . . .
Soon Lizzie is once again thrown together with the handsome Inspector Will Davenport when a high-profile investor is brutally hanged at center stage and Lizzie discovers the body. With the suspect list rivalling any casting call, Lizzie will have to use every trick she’s hidden up her sleeves to unravel the tangled threads and bring the culprit into the spotlight.
Praise for The Corpse Played Dead “I loved everything about this ingenious story! It is every bit as sparkling and twisty as the first book.” —Celia Anderson, author of 59 Memory Lane
