Özet

When Douglas B. Douglas - leading light of the London theatre - premiers his new musical extravaganza, Blue Music, he is sure the packed house will be dazzled by the performance. What he couldn't predict is the death of his star, Brandon Baker, onstage in the middle of act two. Soon another member of the cast is found dead, and it seems to be a straightforward case of murder followed by suicide.

Inspector Wilson of Scotland Yard - who happens to be among the audience - soon discovers otherwise. Together with Derek, his journalist son, Wilson takes charge of proceedings in his own inimitable way.

I Hsve. Or listened to 3 of this author’s books and I can t get enough of them.

The characters and the plot.

The story is good if somewhat roundabout but knowing the writer wrote plays it does make sense. The last chapter is the corker in the story. That’s without giving anything way. In essence I enjoyed it.

Witty, Silly

Martin Edwards sums this up well, it is a very weak plot, wouldn’t bother paying full price for it.

This 1934 comic detective novel is really rather good fun. The plot might not be the most awe-inspiring, but it’s more than serviceable, and the whole thing is very entertaining. I love the father/son interplay between the detective and his enthusiastic journalist son, and the theatrical impresario was a very vivid character. Full marks to Ben Allen, the narrator, who creates so many lively and individual characterisations that I never found myself confused as to who was who, and he obviously knew instinctively how to deliver the comedy.

Witty Fun

A very witty book, and a perfect imperfect ending. So much better than Alan Melville's other books.

Alright then, top marks for Alan Melville
