Wouldn’t It Be Deadly:
An Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins Mystery
by D.E. Ireland
Following her successful appearance at an Embassy Ball — where Eliza Doolittle won Professor Henry Higgins’ bet that he could pass off a Cockney flower girl as a duchess — Eliza becomes an assistant to his chief rival Emil Nepommuck. After Nepommuck publicly takes credit for transforming Eliza into a lady, an enraged Higgins submits proof to a London newspaper that Nepommuck is a fraud. When Nepommuck is found with a dagger in his back, Henry Higgins becomes Scotland Yard’s prime suspect.
However, Eliza learns that most of Nepommuck’s pupils had a reason to murder their blackmailing teacher. As another suspect turns up dead and evidence goes missing, Eliza and Higgins realize the only way to clear the Professor’s name is to discover which of Nepommuck’s many enemies is the real killer. When all the suspects attend a performance of Hamlet at Drury Lane, Eliza and Higgins don their theatre best and race to upstage a murderer.

My Fair Lady is one fantastic musical. I think my daughter wanted to watch it at least once a week when she was in Kindergarten. Plus, I always choose Pygmalian for a Literature Unit for high school homeschoolers.

Currently into Sherlock Holmes type mysteries, but this sounds like a interesting read to get a hold of.
I love mysteries! This sounds like a good one. Would really like to read it.
I can imagine Eliza turning inside out trying to solve the mystery to prove her abilities and worth but Henry was so condescending and cruel I’m curious to see how they work together. The end of Pigmalion was so sad. It would be nice to see Eliza at less of a disadvantage with Henry. Also, Bookshare doesn’t have this book yet. If I win my husband can scan the book so I can read it in braille.
