The script of the Unicorn Theatre's new play uncannily echoes a quarrel in the star's dressing room. And the stage drama gets all too real when charming Felix Gardener shoots his blustering rival, Arthur Surbonardier, dead-with a gun Arthur himself loaded with blanks. Or did he? How the live bullets got there, and why, make for a convoluted case that pits Inspector Roderick Alleyn against someone who rates an Oscar for a murderously clever performance

I am sure I had not read this one before, and it was diverting enough, but not particularly distinctive in any way. The inspector getting, uh, up close and personal with a suspect was a bit weird.

I really enjoyed this mystery. I liked how the case for each suspect was built before the murderer was revealed at the end. I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.
