About the book
In the latest Fethering mystery, the local theater group becomes the setting for a mysterious murder. When Jude agrees to loan her vintage chaise longue for the Amateur Dramatics Society's production of George Bernard Shaw's The Devil's Disciple, she is unaware that she will be thrust into a leading role. The play, which ends with a dramatic execution, takes a sinister turn when one of the actors is found dead on the stage gallows during rehearsals. Was it a tragic accident or a calculated murder? Carole and Jude take it upon themselves to uncover the truth.Praise for this book
As usual with the Fethering mysteries, the characterization of part-time sleuths Jude and Carole Seddon is rich with subtlety. And, as with the Charles Paris mysteries, readers are treated to a cunningly crafted mystery set in a world where stagecraft can serve sinister uses.
