The Story
Charming characters, a cross-Atlantic setting, jazz, cocktails, sex and a brilliant murder mystery. You couldnt ask for more! I loved it Harriet Tyce
This is a cracker. A thoroughly absorbing and thought-provoking historical crime novel that oozes glamour Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Last Act of Love
A fabulous Christie-esque mystery. Brilliantly written, so evocative, and keeps you guessing all the way through Charlotte Levin, If I Cant Have You
'Glamour and grit combine in this smartly plotted, wonderfully atmospheric historical murder mystery, with a heroine I won't forget. I loved it' Frances Quinn, The Smallest Man

London, 1936
Lena Aldridge is wondering if life has passed her by. The dazzling theatre career she hoped for hasnt worked out. Instead, shes stuck singing in a sticky-floored basement club in Soho and her married lover has just left her. She has nothing to look forward to until a stranger offers her the chance of a lifetime: a starring role on Broadway and a first-class ticket on the Queen Mary bound for New York.
After a murder at the club, the timing couldnt be better and Lena jumps at the chance to escape England. Until death follows her onto the ship and she realises that her greatest performance has already begun.
Because someone is making manoeuvres behind the scenes, and theres only one thing on their mind
MURDER
Miss Aldridge Regrets is the exquisite new novel from Louise Hare. A brilliant murder mystery, it also explores class, race and pre-WWII politics, and will leave readers reeling from the beauty and power of it.
