Review Quotes: It's curtains down for one actor when preparations for a new murder mystery play at the local theatre take a chillingly real twist . . . The Librarian Retirement was beckoning until local lawyer Adam Cunningham - aka the Hopewell Players' pantomime dame - requested my professional opinion on the script of their next play that he's been given. The Lawyer The script is terrible! And it rips off a number of Golden Age mysteries. With Roly's knowledge of crime fiction, I might be able to get the whole thing cancelled. The Producer I couldn't believe it when I learned that my late father had written a play of all things! And now the players will perform his work - until one of them is found dead. . . The Inspector A body on the stage of the local playhouse doesn't happen often round here. Was it a pre-rehearsal accident, suicide . . . or is the spotlight about to fall on a murderer? Told from the point of view of four unreliable narrators, most of whom can't be trusted - The Librarian, The Lawyer, The Producer and The Inspector - this cunningly inventive novel is a refreshingly fun, subversive take on the crime fiction genre.Review Citations:
