…………………………………………
In the charming Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough, the stage is set for murder . . .
Helen Dexter has started a new chapter in her life as sole proprietor of the Seaview Hotel.
But things take a dramatic turn when an acting troupe book into the hotel to rehearse a play they hope will save a much-loved theatre from being closed down. Helen immediately picks up on tension between the actors, but there is worse to come when the charismatic leading lady is found dead.
With so much at stake, it’s clear the show must go on. Helen is roped into helping the troupe with their performance, giving her ample opportunity to discover who wanted their diva dead.
However, the murder is not the only thing on Helen’s mind. She’s receiving threatening phone calls, her car is vandalised – and she’s just learned of an impending visit from a hotel inspector which could change the fortunes of the Seaview Hotel.
With her trusty greyhound Suki by her side, Helen is determined to uncover the identity of the killer – even if it means she has to give the performance of her life.

Reviews
In the world of historical saga writers, there's a brand new voice
I really enjoyed Glenda's novel. It's well researched and well written and I found myself caring about her characters
Will resonate with saga readers everywhere...a wonderful, uplifting story
All the ingredients for a perfect saga and I loved Meg; she's such a strong and believable character. A fantastic debut
Glenda has an exceptionally keen eye for domestic detail which brings this local community to vivid, colourful life and Meg is a likeable, loving heroine for whom the reader roots from start to finish
I found it difficult to believe that this was a debut novel, as "brilliant" was the word in my mind when I reached the end. I enjoyed it enormously, being totally absorbed from the first page. I found it extremely well written, and having always loved sagas, one of the best I've read
