❝ Things are only as beautiful as you make them, Charlie. Including murder. ❞

It's the opening night of Burton Abbey's production of Romeo and Juliet and all is going smoothly - that is until the climactic death scene. Romeo takes a big gulp of the poison to be with his lover, except it really is poison and Elijah, who plays Romeo, is now dead.

Charlie Monet, in charge of props, is the first suspect but soon the suspicion around her turns to worry as it seems she's the next target.

Khaleel Rahim, an aspiring writer, is dying for a mystery to solve at his new school. When he sees Charlie sneaking around at night he thinks he's finally found something worth writing about.

After discovering Charlie's ability to see visions of the past, Khaleel decides that they're the perfect pair to solve the mystery.

With threatening notes, a quiet library and poison disguised as props; somebody in the school is blurring the lines between theatre and reality and the fast friends are about to discover that there's more to boarding school than just silly rumours.
