Gems, Girls & Giggles

A missing diamond. A mysterious warning. And a performer with something to hide.

All eyes are on the stage when international sensation Sarah Begendicken arrives in Benidorm.

Swedish punk rock opera singer Sarah Begendicken, known for her bold reputation, is set to headline a spectacular show at Benidorm Palace.

Clive Johnstone—retired detective turned drag performer Vera Copsicle—is meant to keep things simple, help organise a support act, and enjoy the buzz.

Then a note appears.

A warning that Sarah’s diamond necklace is cursed.

It’s laughed off… right up until the necklace disappears from a locked safe.

No forced entry.

No obvious suspect.

No simple explanation.

Drawn into the mystery, Clive begins to uncover a trail of secrets that leads far beyond a missing jewel:

• A performer who isn’t what she seems
• A carefully constructed identity
• And a criminal network hiding in plain sight

Because in Benidorm, even the most glamorous stories can hide something far more complicated underneath.

And this time…

The truth might be stranger than the performance.

"A light-hearted cosy mystery filled with humour, twists, and theatrical flair."

Perfect for readers who enjoy clever crimes, colourful characters, and a touch of the unexpected.
