Deserves a curtain call
Rating:
4 / 5
I love theatrical murders and this is delightful. The author did a great job of describing the backstage bickering and pressures. The characters are well developed. Lindy Haggerty is suffering from an empty nest when an offer to get back into show business arrives in the form of her old friend. She joins the dance company only to find a Diva from hell causing trouble for everyone. I liked the light touch of romance. The clues and red herrings were spread about in a minefield of misdirection. If I had one complaint it is that Ms Freydont took so long to kill the victim. I was so annoyed by the character I was ready to do it myself. This book is a great read.
Truly a can't put it down mystery

I would suggest that you delay starting this book if you have anything else that requires your attention. If you have forgotten your college "all nighters" this book will bring it back to you. I have not seen this many suspects and red herrings since reading my last Benni Harper mystery. Lindy Haggerty is a worthy addition to the new group of thinking lady detectives. I am looking forward to the next visit from Lindy.
Backstage Murder
Rating:
5 / 5
"Touring" with Lindy Haggerty and sharing her adventures was great fun! Having always enjoyed dance, but being stuck with two left feet, reading Backstage Murder gave me a peek at a world I'd never have a chance to know. Having a murder and great characters as part of the ingredients made Backstage Murder a terrific read!
