The crime scene was the stage of the Unicorn Theatre, when a prop gun fired a very real bullet; the victim was an actor clawing his way to stardom using bribery instead of talent; and the suspects included two unwilling girlfriends and several relieved blackmail victims.

The stage is set for one of Roderick Alleyn's most baffling cases....

Terrific

The intricate story is good without there being very many heart-warming events or characters. But the reader is perfect. ESP. in the nuances of the women being ‘actressy,’ when he is so very funny.

Naio Marsh’s mysteries are always well constructed and James Saxon’s voices fit the characters and are always suited to the context.

The book was good but the sound was horrible! It sounded at times as though it had been recorded decades ago in a a tin can. Every chapter had varying sound quality. It was quite irksome as I love all of the other Ngaio Marsh books I've listened to. Not sure why only this one had technical issues.

I can't believe that I haven't listened to a Ngaio Marsh before. What a fool I've been! Her writing is almost as good as Dorothy L. Sayers. I can't wait to hear the rest of her books.

Excellent

While the performance was marvelous, this story wasn't as engaging as other stories of his.
