Peregrine Jay, owner of the Dolphin Theatre, is putting on a magnificent production of Macbeth, the play that, superstition says, always brings bad luck.

But one night the claymore swings, and the dummy's head is more than real: murder behind the scene.

Luckily, Chief Superintendent Roderick Alleyn is in the audience....

Excellent reading/acting. Highly recommended. One of Ngaio Marsh's evocations of a theatre company at which she excelled.

Very well done

This is best enjoyed after Death at the Dolphin. I often listen to them both in a day when I am busy in my workshop. And it is a testament to a good story, well told, that you can enjoy this again and again.

The late great Dame's last novel is a very good rather than a great listen because it is more an homage to her spiritual home - the stage - than a full fat detection whodunit. Of course, it's possible that some may view it as both, but the interesting minutiae of Marsh's stage craft is the clear majority focus of Light Thickens. It is quite literally a tale of two halves: the formation of the play, and how all parts function in this process consumes the first half before any whiff of a crime kicks off in the second half. The pacing of the novel is negatively impacted as a result of this choice. Philip Franks is excellent as the narrator but he only has so much to play with. A worthy ending to Inspector Alleyn's (60-year!) career in the police force but the Dame should have allocated greater time to the story as the killer is made obvious in the first half, and becomes relatively apparent in the second half where only one character has the singular required attribute to commit the crime.

Theatre homage.

I am not a budding director so I found the endless theatrical explanations rather tedious. The various actors were almost cliched and the denouement sadly lacking. I really did not care by the end. I normally like the narrator but there were so many different and rather annoying voices, including the precocious children, that I found myself getting cross and just wishing the story could be told by one voice.
