7/10

An A list cast, good mystery.

An Author does, the suspects include the producer of the forthcoming stage play, and members of the cast.

It's a good solid mystery, a very traditional whodunnit, it's a little bit slow to develop, but good when the story opens up. This one is all about the cast, fair play to the casting director, Idris Elba and James McAvoy in the same production!

I continue to enjoy the dynamic between Lynley and Havers, he's debonair and suave, she's more rough and ready, they're from different worlds, but find a way to make it work.

Helen makes her first appearance, you can't fault Lesley Vickerage as an actress, but the character was so sullen.

Very good. 7/10
