About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
It's Christmas at London's Theatre Royale and journalist Daphne King is determined to solve an extraordinary mystery...
December 1935. Director Monty Harrison's production of A Christmas Carol has had a troubled run on its tour of regional theatres. With tensions amongst the cast running high, the company reach their final stop—London's Theatre Royale.
Catastrophe, however, strikes on opening night: Scrooge dies on stage, the result (it is presumed) of a heart attack. But the show must go on. Until, that is, a leading theatre critic—and old rival of Monty's—is killed backstage. Are those associated with the production being picked off one by one? Budding journalist Daphne King takes up the case...

Poor narration

I should mention that I have ADHD and at times found Joan Walker's narration too fast. it's a short novel anyway and there was no need to read it at such a clipped pace. I had to slow down the recording, but this brought without the annoyance of a slight slurring.
This is not a terrible audio book. but it's not good either.
