Review:
This is another good mystery to be solved by Lieutenant Eve Dallas with help from Roarke and Dr Mira. Eve and Roarke were attending the opening night of theater when a late scene turns all too real with the stabbing of the arrogant male lead. Eve had many on site witnesses, including herself. As she diligently researches and interviews the cast she discovers that most everyone disliked the victim and there are several with motive. The understudy gains a chance to move into a big position. Several of the ladies have the old motive of ‘the woman scorned.’

A stage hand shows up dead as an apparent suicide leaving a note confessing to the killing. That is all too neat and coincidental for Eve. She pushes, finding unexpected and surprising connections between the victim and others of the cast. Although the clues start to point one way Eve sets up a scene to trap the real killer.

As always, there is great rapport between Eve and Roarke and also between Eve and her team. Peabody is ‘meeting’ with McNab which drives Eve crazy. Feeney is his usual reliable background investigator. I really enjoyed the mystery and the process of unraveling and uncovering the killer.

Audio Notes: Susan Ericksen does a wonderful job of narrating this series. There is lots of energy with good emotion and wonderful voices. I love listening to these stories!
