Death in the Dark is a very interesting mystery that will keep your eyes glued to the pages.
Sparkle McCavity is a young drag queen and employee of Miss Merkin who has mysteriously disappeared. Miss Merkin, somewhat reluctant at first, decides to ask her friend Fi for help to solve the matter but it soon becomes clear that Fi's friends are in danger again. Sparkle's body is found stuffed into the light pole of the TRASH nightclub and soon afterwards Robyn, Fi's best friend, also disappears. Detective O'Hara begins to strongly suspect Merkin and this increases the tension between the friends. Will one of them really be responsible for the murder? Will Fi and her friends be able to save Robyn and Sparkle before it's too late?

It was really hard for me to put this book away. I pulled an all-nighter to finish reading it. The numerous plots and suspense left me, chapter by chapter, with bated breath. I couldn't wait to find out who was behind Sparkle and Robyn's disappearance.
The author's pen is very smooth, sarcastic and funny. I can't wait until you can read this book too. I can assure you that between kidnappings, accusations, murders and dance floors it will be impossible for you to get bored!


Many thanks to Kitty Murphy and Netgalley for the ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A young drag queen Sparkle McCavity and an employee of Miss Merkin, is missing and presumed kidnapped or even worse. Merkin turns to reluctant sleuth and friend to the community Fi for help, however clues and suspects are worryingly thin on the ground and the drag king Stan the man is proving somewhat distracting. When Merkin’s niece is found murdered, spiked on a light pole in nightclub TRASH, it becomes clear that Fi’s friends are possibly in danger.
With detective O’Hara becoming convinced that the most likely suspect is Miss Merkin herself, tensions start to build between the friends. Could one of them possibly be responsible?
After a spooky seance, Fi’s best friend Robyn disappears and a guild ridden Fi and her friends must double their efforts to save Robyn and Sparkle before it becomes too late.

I did enjoy the book and it held my attention however, which is my own fault I didn't realise that this book was the second book in the series when I requested it. So, at times I was a bit confused but regardless I did enjoy the story and the whole premise was interesting.

Thank you to Netgalley for this eARC and Death in the dark comes out on 11th April:)

I adored this book. It was funny, sad, thrilling and the ending was just amazing. It was hilarious in places with the characters sarcasm and of course drag queens. Those are the type of friends you need.

I read the first one in this series and really loved it. This one was just not doing it for me. The pacing was off and I was able to figure out who did it way too soon.
I do really enjoy the characters and seeing some behind the scenes of drag. I just wish the plot had worked out better.

I really enjoyed this first one, and the second didn’t disappoint. Enjoyed the narrative and the characters. Look forward to the next one on the series.

The first book in this series was on my amazon first reads and I took a gamble and boy imagine my happiness when I read it and was hooked! So to see this on netgalley the next day, it was like fate drawing me in!

I absolutely LOVE this series so much. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to read it.

I have nothing constructive to say than please be another, I haven't loved a series so much in so long.

Thank you so much NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for a review. This is entirely my fault, but I didn't realise this was the second in an already existing series. Therefore, I was a little bit lost and confused. However, the premise was really interesting and I really enjoyed this take on a mystery murder/thriller story. I still enjoyed it, and will go back and read the first book; hopefully it will add to my enjoyment of this one!

Another brilliant book in this series, I just love the queens in these books and how they’ve become their own family. The book has a fascinating plot with so much going on throughout. It truly kept me on the edge of my seat.

This was so good. I read it in one sitting. I thought it was really good and it kept me wanting to read it.

I really wanted to love this book. The premise sounded so interesting.

I somehow didn't realize it was a series and had not read the previous book. I was lost at times and it just wasnt for me.

I really wanted to love this book. The premise sounded so fun and interesting! But having not read the previous book (not sure if that matters in this case?) I was supremely lost and didn't enjoy as much as I had hoped.
