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.

3 stars. I like this book better than the first one, but I still find the writing a bit stuffy, and there was too much personal conflict between the characters for my taste. I would've preferred more focus on the murder mystery itself.
The problem with these books is that it is hard to keep track of all the characters, especially in audio. But I find them well written and enjoyable.
