This was fun! I was really intrigued by how the themes of showbiz/theatre would meld with detective concepts and was genuinely satisfied. It wasn’t rushed and it didn’t take forever to build assumptions and hypotheses along with the characters themselves. Even with the right amount of twist and turns, it did seem to lead only to one possible ending, which was somewhat disappointing but still a pleasure to read. Griffiths has a great grasp of mystery, though this series (so far), errs to the side of cozy which doesn’t always spark my interest. Again, I was pleasantly surprised with how much it stayed in my hands and off the bedside table.

I’m not sure I’ll continue with the whole series; I am a completion driven reader but I don’t know that I created a strong enough relationship with the main characters in this series to commit to the next five books. We’ll see!
