Sinossi
Riunita nel maniero scozzese di Westerbrae, una compagnia teatrale londinese si appresta a leggere una nuova commedia. Ma, prima ancora che la serata si sia conclusa, la bellissima autrice viene trovata assassinata nel suo letto. In tutta fretta, dato che la stampa deve essere tenuta all'oscuro del delitto, vengono convocati l'ispettore Thomas Lynley di Scotland Yard e il sergente Barbara Havers, per i quali non è difficile capire che si tratta di un caso complesso e delicato, anche perché vi sono coinvolti il più grande produttore teatrale inglese, due star del teatro e la donna amata da Lynley.

Good Lord, could a story be any more confusing? • Do all of the characters have to be having affairs with each other (either in this book, or as part of their back stories)? • Do in-laws really have sex with each other as much as they do in this novel? • Do most of these characters have to have 3 or Leggi tutto
