This one was just so-so. I found the addition of the play writers and possible scripts to the story boring.

The story was good overall, but I kept getting annoyed by the behaviour of some of the character and I also didn’t really understand a lot of the conclusions that they came to when it came to the real case.

Evie is hosting a gaggle of playwrights in her house. It's too bad they want to use her house as a setting. Well, it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't a murder. With her recent history, it's better to avoid being associated with that particular crime. It becomes especially bad when a local busybody turns up dead. Right after having an argument with Evie's mother-in-law. 
It seems that the late Mrs. Sheffield wasn't particularly mourned but the lengths that someone went to make sure she was no longer on this plane were pretty great. There ended up being several folds in the eventual solution but it was a good ride along the way.
