Sinossi
Riunita nel castello scozzese di Westerbrae, una compagnia teatrale londinese si appresta a leggere un nuovo testo. Ma dopo una serata tempestosa, punteggiata da litigi e scontri, Joy Sinclair, la bellissima autrice, viene trovata morta nel suo letto. Una faccenda troppo delicata per i poliziotti di quella sonnolenta zona delle Highlands. Così New Scotland Yard manda a Westerbrae l’ispettore Thomas Lynley, affiancato come sempre dal sergente Barbara Havers. Per Lynley, quel delitto assume subito i contorni di un incubo: una delle ospiti del maniero è infatti Helen Clyde, la donna di cui è innamorato, che, nella notte fatale, non era sola…

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.
