Death Comes for Desdemona

by Nina Coombs Pykare

Kate Ketterling is a member of her father's troupe of strolling players. When the actors come to Covent Garden she finds the theatre superior to their usual haunts—until Nell Stanford's dresser is strangled. The authorities take little interest before the hot-tempered Nell herself is killed. When Bow Street's progress is nonexistent, intrepid Kate and Viscount Barrington stage their own investigation.

Better books came along and then it was due back at the library. Just didn't make the cut.
