Sinopsis

Steve Anders is the chief of staff for Senator Edward Buchanan. Senator Buchanan is a powerful and controversial figure surrounded by intrigue. The Senator is rumored to be in possession of classified information and of having affairs with a staffer. Steve is the Senator’s fixer and is on top of his game and well-respected throughout political circles. His brother Jack Anders runs a political consultancy firm representing the Senator.
 
Both brothers are at the top of their game, but everything is about to change. The Senator accuses Steve of stealing classified files and he is fired. That evening, the Senator is found murdered in his home. As detectives investigate the Senator’s murder, the clues start pointing in Steve’s direction.
 
Attorney Adam Lucas takes on Steve’s representation and does his best to establish reasonable doubt, while politically ambitious district attorney Robert Burnbaum seeks to launch his campaign for governor on the publicity that would come with a conviction of Steve Anders for murder.
 
As a jury is selected and the trial that is now national news begins, Steve faces the prospect of thirty years in prison. But nothing is as it seems and the unexpected testimony to be adduced at trial will shock the watching world.

    Murder in the Wings 
    In the idyllic English town of Shepton Rise, drama is a way of life for Ginny Fellows—but usually, it stays on stage. As a theatrical agent for the Dead Actors, a lively troupe of performers known for their memorable on-screen demises, Ginny is well-versed in the art of make-believe. But when a real-life murder darkens the curtains of Shepton Rise, Ginny must take center stage as an unlikely sleuth. 
    Her investigation draws her into the world of the local amateur dramatics society, a hotbed of rivalries, secrets, and larger-than-life egos. The plot thickens as Ginny discovers that almost anyone in the group might have had a motive for murder. Yet Ginny has her own challenges to face—crippling panic attacks make it nearly impossible for her to leave the safety of her home. 
    With the steadfast support of her eccentric clients, the Dead Actors, and her devoted friend Adam, Ginny must summon the courage to step into the spotlight and untangle a web of lies and deception. 
    A delightful whodunit brimming with wit, charm, and theatrical flair, Murder in the Wings is a cozy mystery that proves all the world’s a stage—and the stakes have never been higher.

    There is something about the number 3.  
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two. 
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes. 
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
    From their pens to your your ears.

    Georgie Deacon thinks nothing of it when a gang of girls led by Yasmin, a member of the notorious Marx family, knock at her door and threaten to hurt her daughter – that is until her daughter doesn’t return home. 
    Detective Clark Kims ignores Georgie’s plea to have the gang of girls brought in for questioning. He insists it is the work of the Kent serial killer, until Georgie realises that the detective’s daughter is part of the gang. 
     
    Following the brutal murder of two members of the Marx family and the arrival of a Ministry of Defence file, Georgie instantly becomes the number one suspect. Yet more worrying than securing her liberty is the idea that the nemesis from her past has returned to exact his revenge – a promise he made back in Afghanistan almost twenty years ago. 
     
    There was a lot more to Georgie than the Army’s top brass gave her credit for. 
     
    That was a huge mistake.

It presents the detective's drug habit and humanizes him in a way that had not been done in the preceding novel, A Study in Scarlet (1887). It also introduces Doctor Watson's future wife, Mary Morstan.
