About this listen

'Been reading this on m'olidays. It's perfectly ridiculous & also v funny...' - Dawn French
'Curtain Call To Murder positively explodes with the double-entendres and vicious wit that has become his trademark.' DAILY EXPRESS

A murder on stage. A cast full of suspects. Can dresser to the stars and true crime obsessive Jayne unravel the mystery?

It is opening night at the London Palladium, and tensions are running high amongst the feuding cast of "Leopard Spots." Amongst them are an ageing lothario, a foul-mouthed national treasure, and a comedian-turned actor all vying for the spotlight.

When an on-stage accident forces an unexpected intermission, it is clear only to dresser to the stars Jayne that the backstage drama has turned deadly. Can she step out of the wings and identify the killer before it is too late? Or will murder make an encore...

Discover the year's most entertaining, devious and fabulous mystery from author, actor and comedian Julian Clary

Brilliant

Really good plot which was woven expertly into the world of the theatre (and Julian Clary). Narration was excellent and I loved the additional asides.

Ripping Good Yarn

Excellent audible version of this murder story. Having the theatrical cast members narrate made it especially good and interesting. Julian Clary’s humour and side quips throughout brought bursts of laughter. Highly recommend.

An easy listen.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this. It took me a while to get into the story but I found myself laughing out loud. An enjoyable romp. with plenty of name dropping.

Clever plot, until the final denoument there were still 2 potential killers, although one was the more likely

Enjoyed JC's intercalated explanations, comments and especially his scurrilous ejaculations (or should that be interjections?).
