1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
Craving a change of pace, Harriet Gordon, joins a local musical theatre production but when a fellow cast member is brutally killed, Harriet and Inspector Curran must turn the spotlight on murder in this all-new mystery from the author of Revenge in Rubies. Between working at her brothers school and typing up Inspector Robert Currans police reports, Harriet Gordon has little time for personal pursuits and she has been enjoying the rehearsals for her role in the Singapore Amateur Dramatic and Musical Societys latest production Pirates of Penzance. But Harriet quickly discovers tensions run deep within the theatre company and when the leading man is found murdered, suspicions abound, exposing scandalous behavior as well as some insidious crimes. Inspector Curran once again turns to Harriet for help with this difficult case, but his own life begins to unravel as a mysterious man turns up on his doorstep claiming to know more about Currans painful past than he himself does. And after the one person he has always counted on delivers him some devastating news, the line between his personal and professional life begins to blur. Now, more than ever, Curran needs Harriets steadfast assistance, and when another cast member meets a violent end, Curran and Harriet will have to close in on a killer determined to make this case their final curtain call.

This is 3rd in the series. I‘m enjoying the books overall, but this one wasn‘t quite as good as previous ones. Revolves around murders in Harriet‘s local amateur theater troupe featuring infidelity, greed, embezzling and mental health issues. The leads seemed a bit unlike themselves and not as connected as usual although Harriet surprises with a weird sudden epiphany where Curran is concerned. This one just did not flow as easily for me. 4/5⭐️

rubyslippersreads I might have to read this just because I ❤️ Gilbert & Sullivan. 5mo
robinb @rubyslippersreads Yes, they were putting on The Pirates of Penzance. 😊I really liked the previous two books but felt a weird disconnect from the characters in this one. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5mo
