Description
Edgar Award-shortlisted author Ashley Weaver returns with the fifth instalment in the Amory Ames mystery series.
Walking through London's West End, Amory Ames and her husband Milo run into old friend Gerard Holloway who invites them to the dress rehearsal of a new play he is directing. Amory readily accepts. However, the casual invitation is not what it seems—Holloway’s leading lady and mistress has received threatening letters and he wishes Amory to investigate. Despite Amory's conflicting feelings, she begins to make inquiries. It becomes clear that each member of the cast has reason to resent Flora--and with a group so skilled at deception, it isn't easy to separate truth from illusion. When vague threats escalate, the scene is set for murder, and Amory and Milo must find the killer before the final curtain falls.
"Sure to appeal to Agatha Christie devotees." BOOKLIST
