Story
When famous explorer Alaric Boynton-Dale disappears, Posie uncovers many dark secrets: an aristocratic family torn apart by hatred, a bizarre murder at an English country house, and a cryptic clue left behind by Alaric which is sweet as honey, but deadlier than poison. In an action-packed case where simply everyone has a motive for wanting Alaric dead, Posie's investigation starts off in the English Cotswolds, takes her through the glamorous South of France, on to the mysterious island of Ortigia in Italy, and then into the Tombs of the Pharaohs in Egypt.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

Publisher's Summary
Like your mysteries cozy and set during the Golden Age of Crime? This is the first audiobook in the Posie Parker mysteries, although this novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right. Set in London in 1921, Murder Offstage is full of intrigue and red herrings. This is a classic murder mystery which will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie and Downton Abbey.
When Posie Parker’s childhood friend is robbed of a priceless jewel and becomes a suspect in a cold-blooded murder case, budding detective Posie vows she will clear his name. Aided by her seriously gorgeous assistant Len, Posie soon realizes things are not quite as they seem, and the darkly-glamorous world of London’s theater and glittering nightclubs prove far more dangerous than she ever could have imagined.
Just who exactly is the dangerous Lucky Lucy Gibson? And who is it she has killed in the lobby of the Ritz Hotel? And more importantly, what on earth has happened to Mr Minks, the much-loved office cat?
If you love an action-packed historical cozy crime with a feisty protagonist, download a sample or buy Murder Offstage now.

Okay story. No idea about the era.
An okay story, if all little formulaic.
Unfortunately details of the era (1921) are frequently crashingly wrong. From plastic seating in cafes to characters always referring to WW1 as "The Great War" in day to day conversation and many other jarring examples that jolt you out of the story. A Dick Van Dyke impression of the early 1920s.
Better research would elevate the author to "but the next book" status.

Unbelievable
The book was fine up until the end, when murderer was revealed and the book went from a perfectly pleasant mystery to creating an unbelievable threat. To say much more would be spoiling details and I don't want to do that. It just fell completely flat at the end because of the absurdity.

Didn’t read like the first of a series
I have found a few murder mystery series that I’ve really fallen in love with and gotten into, but I had a hard time with this book.
I felt like the introduction to the characters was rushed, and they were fairly superficial, lacking in depth. I checked and then re-checked a few times when listening convinced this was actually book 2 and I’d missed something. Some good aspects of the book, especially with the mystery itself, but I wish the author would have taken the time to let us get to know the characters more. Needed more “show” and less “tell.”

Decent understanding of the English language
First off, the narrator is quite good so you can ignore some of the weaker writing. But the plot, narrator and characters are better than most in this genre. I wish these cosies would have better editors but I guess that would eat into the profits.

Absolutely Smashing
What a little gem, yes, pun intended.
I love this period, innocence lost after the Great War, but the jade of financial crashes not yet threatening life and livelihoods.
Posy Parker is sharp, cute and in tune with her investigations. You can almost hear the cogs turning as she skips her delightful way through the mystery. The fast pace paints a wonderful picture of London life, and her matter of fact, but decidedly less than ordinary approach to things keep you guessing along the way.
This is the first of the Posy Parker books I have listened to, but it most certainly will not be the last.
What next, I wonder, for Rosemary and Leonard?

The plot is a good one but the telling of it is poor
The blurb reads well and the plot is a good one, but the telling of it is poor! I disliked most that it was packed full of cliches (most often ‘dumb blonde’ type cliches), but also ‘B movie’ types too! Right down to the stroking of the cat scene <sigh>.
I won’t be perusing any more in this series or by this author. The upside is that the narrator, Clare Wille, is very good (which is why it got an extra star overall).
