Elspeth shares a murder mystery for teens that's full of Classic Hollywood glamour.

It’s 1932 in Chinatown, Los Angeles and teenagers May and Gemma Chow have just found the body of their friend, Lulu Wong. An up-and-coming Hollywood star, Lulu has one of L.A.’s most recognisable faces, but Gemma and May soon realise that even Lulu’s fame is not enough to make the police take the murder of a young Chinese woman seriously. Being intrepid girls, they start their own investigation and soon find themselves undercover in Hollywood.

This book paints a vivid picture of 1930s LA through the eyes of a couple of feisty teenagers whose lives bridge two very different worlds. There is danger and excitement, scandal and prejudice with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers guessing ‘whodunnit’ alongside the Chow sisters. Although the book does start with a murder, it’s still a fairly ‘clean’ thriller for teen readers.
