Light Thickens (Roderick Alleyn Book 32) (English Edition)

From the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master, this tale of death at the Dolphin Theatre has wit, charm, and oodles of atmosphere (Kirkus Reviews). Among theater folk, the Scottish play is considered unlucky, so much so that tradition requires anyone who utters its proper name backstage to leave the building, spin around, spit, curse, and then request permission to re-enter. As director Peregrine Jay directs a production of Shakespeares great work at the Dolphin Theater, misfortune does indeed abound, including some ugly practical jokesand a grisly death for the leading man. Its up to Roderick Alleyn to find out who has blood on their hands . . . No playwright could devise a better curtain. Los Angeles Times As always she writes most elegantly.
