Nice and cozy murder mystery that, although easily forgettable, provided a good few hours of entertainment for me.

If you´re a fan of Agatha Christie, you´ll probably enjoy this, because it has a similar plot structure (and quite a few references to that author herself), with an amateur sleuth gathering evidence and an ending with all the suspects gathered in one place for the great reveal.
As I said, the old formule always works well. And, since the murder is committed in a theater, I guess that also adds a bit of a show to it (in more than one sense).
I liked the book (it´s the second of a series, but I haven´t read the first one yet), but it´s not that impressive: I guessed who the murderer was and why they did it pretty quickly. The characters (particularly the main ones) were nicely done but I still felt there was something missing... This book was categorized as LGBTQ+ and, althouth Bertie (the protagonist) is queer in a very subtle and almost let´s-not-talk-about-this-in-public way, I didn´t really see anything particylarly queer in this book: If you remove the LGBTQ+ tag of it, I could have perfectly seen Hugh and Bertie´s relationship as some sort of strangled friendship. Maybe, if you pushed it a bit, I could see it as a friendship wanting to be something more (particularly on Bertie´s side, because Hugh is very closeted)... But then I could trick myself into thinking I was imagining things because, you see, there is nothing romantic about this book and what Bertie and Hugh have in the end is just friendship (that has potential to be something more in the following books, I suppose).
Will I keep reading more of this series? That´s the real question.
I´d say, probably. It was cozy and it´s a fast reading so, why not?
