About this audiobook

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.

Octogenarian friends Lady Marjorie and her cousin-in-law Edna are on a relaxing holiday to Romania. The trip turns deadly when a former opera singer is murdered. Marjorie and Edna investigate to find the killer before they become the next victims. This book is light-hearted and fun. The relationship between Marjorie and Edna is more adversarial than friendly. I recommend reading the prequel before launching into this book. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received.
