    A night at the opera ends in murder. Lady Marjorie will need to be at her razor-sharp best... 
    Lady Marjorie Snellthorpe agrees to accompany her cousin-in-law, Edna Parkinton on an organised tour, starting in Romania. 
    Looking for rest and relaxation after their last trip ended in a murder investigation, things don't quite go to plan. Edna is pleased when Horace Tyler from their previous holiday joins them, and Marjorie believes she has found a new friend in Frederick Mackworth. Their peace is shattered when they meet an argumentative and annoying sextet, including a petulant diva. This is made worse when the whole party is detained in Cluj-Napoca after a body is discovered at the end of their night at the opera. 
    The death of one among their company raises questions about who might have wanted to kill the seemingly unpopular diva. With a plethora of suspects, Marjorie and Edna lock horns while trying to discover who was responsible. 
    It appears the dead woman's friends and family are more interested on continuing with their holiday than finding a killer. With each harbouring secrets they would rather remain untold, Marjorie and her pensioner pals have their work cut out. 
    Can Marjorie get to the bottom of a troubling murder without killing her cousin-in-law and ending up in a Romanian jail? 
    Murder at the Opera House is the first in a rollicking new series. Don't be fooled by the ages of this quartet. They mean business... 
    If you like determined sleuths, jaw-dropping surprises, and detailed investigative work, you’ll love this humorous group of pensioners.

    A lovely little spot for murder! 
     
     
     
    Not much happens in Biddle Rhyne, a quiet, picturesque village in the southwest of England. Especially if you don't count the meat raffle on a Thursday night and the odd sheep escaping a field. 
     
     
     
    However, that's all set to change when Julia Ford, a normal(ish) twenty-something who works in the local pub, stumbles upon a murder victim. 
     
     
     
    Upsetting, but not the end of the world. Particularly as the victim is Audrey White, the cantankerous owner of a nearby garden center. 
     
     
     
    But when the police discover Julia had argued with the woman in the past, and her fingerprints are found on a death threat, she is accused of the crime, and her life is turned upside down. 
     
     
     
    Released on police bail and encumbered with an unfetching ankle tag, Julia will have to clear her own name. 
     
     
     
    Yet the murderer is intent that she takes the fall. Will Julia land on her feet?
