SCREENPLAY TRAILER: The Queen's Coiffeur, by Will Bashor is the story of Leonard Autié, the role he played in the life of his most famous client, and the chaotic and history-making world in which he rose to prominence. Was Leonard indirectly responsible for the very first attacks upon the queen, found in inflammatory pamphlets circulating as early as 1775. The attacks were prompted by Leonard's incredibly fanatical hairstyles, concoctions that reached such a height that it was necessary for ladies to kneel on the carriage floor--or hold the towering hairpieces outside the coach windows en route to gala balls and the opera.           https://www.amazon.com/QUEENS-COIFFEUR-Novel-Will-Bashor-ebook/dp/B0BD69Q8NX

Ohio accountant Nathan Bolton does everything by the book—his friendships, his job, even his love life. That means he also steers clear of the nightlife his closest friends—Henry Grindle, Cecil Garrett, and Guy Logan—dabble in from time to time, until the murder of a man dressed as a woman, and known as Lady Sapphire, upends his mundane life—and those very friends become prime suspects. Nathan—convinced that the mysterious new man about town, Jacob Jagger, is the true culprit—quickly finds his quiet existence tangled in a murder investigation that leaves him wondering “will the world ever return to normal?”

Bashor (author of The Bastard Prince of Versailles) crafts a fast-paced, 1920s thriller with surprising depth that sees Nathan entertaining his own secrets, even as he determines to solve the town’s shocking murder. The plot nicely balances whodunnit hijinks with the historical confines of social norms in the ‘20s, an era that censures Nathan’s sexuality and forces him to hide his feelings for his male friends, leaving him “torn between the life society expected of him and the life that he secretly craved.” As Nathan uncovers secrets about his companions and finds himself involved in risky situations, he faces the tough decisions that come with choosing to be loyal to those closest to him, being authentic and honest with himself, or conforming to societal expectations to get ahead in life.

Readers who enjoy the suspense that comes not just with a well-crafted mystery but also the hauntings of forbidden love will be on the edge of their seats as Nathan navigates the mystery of Jacob Jagger and his connection to his inner circle. No one is who they pretend to be in this spirited tale, and Bashor layers tension and uncertainty throughout—with a twist at the end that leaves Nathan reeling—while skillfully exploring the consequences of keeping secrets and denying one's true self.

Takeaway: Twisty 1920s murder mystery with surprising depth.
