'So brilliantly enjoyable to read' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Dandy Gilver never disappoints' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In this contest, every dance might be your last . . .

1932, Glasgow: In a city bewitched by dance, the Locarno Ballroom's annual trophy is the event of the season. Even society lady - and sometimes detective - Dandy Gilver is swept up. Never mind that one of last year's entrants danced his way to an early grave.

After all, what's the harm in a little competition.

When one of this year's dancers, a rebellious debutante, starts receiving anonymous threats, her parents ask Dandy to investigate. But beyond the glitz and the glamour, the steps and the shine, dark forces are at play

A brilliantly thrilling and witty cosy historical locked-room mystery set in the glittering dancehalls of 1930s Glasgow. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
