A Stab in the Dark
(2024)(The fifth book in the Miss Dark's Apparitions series)
A novel by Suzannah Rowntree
Undead dancers, underhanded management…and a deadly opera ghost in 1890s Paris!
Now comfortably wealthy for the first time in her life, Miss Dark finds herself looking forward to her crew’s newest assignment at the Paris Opera.
Certainly, it’s tough luck on the tenor whose grisly death has put an unceremonious halt to the new Wagner production. But helping Vasily to steal the Paris Opera in the guise of a squabbling married couple could be exactly the introduction to high society Molly has been itching for.
Miss Nijam, meanwhile, has always longed to solve a murder, and helping her to evade the death-traps littered around the Opera might finally give Alphonse Schmidt the opportunity to confess his feelings.
And Mimi Laine, whose talents as a cat-burglar have always outstripped her abilities as a ballerina, is eager for her long-awaited chance to study with a master, the mysterious M Christophe.
But life isn’t easy for a crew of thieves who’ve relinquished their burglar to the pursuit of Art. And meanwhile, ballerinas like Mimi are disappearing into the depths of the Opera.
If Molly and her crew can’t solve the mystery of the Opera Ghost, one of their own might be next…
