This April, our Breakfast Club will read Murder in the Dressing Room by Holly Stars. Mark your calendar for Sunday, April 20th at 10:30am as we gather at All She Wrote Books to discuss a comedic mystery that proves "drag’s not just dramatic, it’s deadly."
Event Highlights:
- Immersive Book Discussion with a Community of Enthusiastic Readers
- Coffee and pastries from local French bakery, Michette
Tickets are limited to due to capacity at the bookstore, and each ticket will include either:
- A copy of the breakfast book club pick; or
- General admission that includes coffee and pastries.
There are many ways to obtain a copy of the book (aside from your public library) — you can purchase it through allshewrotebooks.com, Bookshop.org, or Libro.fm to help support our work!
Our event has a limited capacity and we want to ensure that as many people as possible are able to attend. By letting us know that you can no longer attend, we can open up your spot to someone on our waitlist who is eager to participate.
"Inclusivity" isn't just a buzzword to us. We make every effort to ensure our space and events are accessible to and for everyone. If you or someone in your party needs accommodations, please email us at [email protected].
About the Book:
A poisoned chocolate. A stolen dress. An elusive cat burglar. Drag’s not just dramatic, it’s deadly.
By day, Joe is a hotel accountant, invisibly sitting behind their desk and playing by the rules. By night, donned in sequins, they take to the stage as Misty Divine, a star of the London drag scene.
But when Misty’s drag mother, Lady Lady, is found dead in her dressing room beside a poisoned box of chocolates, Misty and her fellow performers become the prime suspects.
Heartbroken by the loss, and frustrated by the clear biases of the police, Misty must solve the crime before the culprit strikes again. Among the drop-dead gorgeous lurks a cutthroat killer, and Misty Divine won’t rest until she finds out who it is.
