Death in Heels - (Dublin Drag Mysteries) by Kitty Murphy (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

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?
