'All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players....'

When an undercover assignment for the Bow Street magistrate sees prostitute Lizzie Hardwicke trade Ma Farley’s Bawdy House in Soho for life as a seamstress at the theatre on Drury Lane, it becomes clear quite quickly - what goes on in the wings is much more intriguing than the theatrics being played out onstage....

Soon Lizzie is once again thrown together with the handsome Inspector Will Davenport when a high profile investor is brutally hanged at centre stage and Lizzie discovers the body. With the suspect list rivalling any casting call, Lizzie will have to use every trick she’s hidden up her sleeves to unravel the tangled threads and bring the culprit into the spotlight.

The first story in the series was okay, but this one was yawn-inducing. No character development, story arc was convoluted, culprit was easily detected early. The narrator changed from the first novel and that was a mistake. This narrator had odd timing and made all the characters sound like they were elderly, when the main characters were under 30 or so. No historical details of the era. Disappointed I spent a credit on this.

Meh..Boring Mystery and Flat Characters
