Set amid the glamour and grit of 1920s theatre, Ruddy Gore follows sleuth Phryne Fisher when a gala performance turns deadly. After a street scuffle and a chance rescue, Phryne finds herself pulled into a baffling onstage death that may be more than an accident.

The investigation moves between dressing rooms, the comic and macabre plot of a Gilbert and Sullivan piece, and the nearby community of Little Bourke Street. Phryne uncovers links between past crimes, present motives, and a ghostly reputation that threatens the company.

Rich in period detail and theatrical atmosphere, the novel blends backstage intrigue, social ties, and sharp detective work. Readers who enjoy historical mysteries with strong female leads and a stage-bound puzzle will appreciate the tone and twists.
