Four unlikely seniors team up for a laugh-out-loud mystery series you won't want to miss...
An opera. A murder. A diva.
Marjorie Snellthorpe and her exasperating cousin-in-law, Edna Parkinton set off for a relaxing holiday in Romania. Looking for respite after their last adventure ended up a murder investigation, they have no idea what awaits them. When they encounter Horace Tyler from the previous trip, and find a new friend in Frederick Mackworth, it seems Marjorie has finally found peace - until they meet a sextet of argumentative and irritating people, including a petulant diva.
With their night at the opera ending in murder, Marjorie and Edna must put aside their differences to uncover who was responsible.
As secrets come to light amongst the suspects and those close to the dead woman seem more interested in continuing with their holiday than finding out the truth, Marjorie and her pensioner pals face an uphill battle to solve the mystery before someone else is killed or they end up in jail.
Murder at The Opera House **promises determined sleuths, jaw-dropping surprises and detailed investigative work as Lady Marjorie and friends race against time to expose the sinister plot that lies behind this daring murder.
