Sneak Peek: James Bagworth’s “Out of the Limelight”

Out of the LimelightToday we have a sneak peek of James Bagworth’s historical murder mystery, Out of the Limelight.

In the bawdy world of 19th century Music Hall, comedians Farrow and Flint find themselves accused of murder. Their struggle to clear their name leads them into a dark world, far from the bright lights of theatre, crossing paths with conspirators, murderers and lovers, and finally leading them to a chilling discovery in the depths of Victorian London.

Out of the Limelight is available for purchase on Amazon.com and Amazon UK. Continue reading “Sneak Peek: James Bagworth’s “Out of the Limelight””
