The Vanishing Box by Elly Griffiths

Max and his daughter are the main draw at the theater but their run is coming to a close.  Max is still not sure about the act that has almost nude girls re-enacting historical moments.  He knows the men attending are not interested in history...

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published October 9th.

When one of the young girls is found dead in her room, no one knows why.  She had no boyfriends, was friendly with the girls and was a nice quiet girl.  The next one to die was Max's new girlfriend and this devastates him.  It's hard to look for a murderer when your heart has been broken.

The murderers are right under their noses.  As it is, Max will be moving on due to his lost love, his daughter has broken her engagement because he loves another.  They solve the crime but their lives are all up in the air.  I wonder where the next story will go...
