What to expect
When Prince Charming is murdered and the principal dancer hits the bottle, amateur sleuths Miriam Birdseye and Natasha Nevkorina come to the rescue. Sacrificing their Christmas plans for the sake of art and detecting, they join the pantomime. As ex-thespians, they know the show must go on - though the cast shrinks with each rehearsal. Can the indomitable detective duo discover the murderer before the final curtain falls?
Fast paced and festive, this comic crime classic from Nancy Spain will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Critics Review
-
Her detective novels are hilarious. They are high camp and less about detecting than delighting, with absurd farce and a wonderful turn of phrase . . . Nancy Spain was bold, she was brave, she was funny, she was feisty. I owe her a great deal

An either intense or sombre approach to crime is to Miss Spain foreign: in her world an inspired craziness rules . . . Her wit, her zest, her outrageousness, and the colloquial stylishness of her writing are quite her own

A festive cosy crime. Enjoyable, and I really like that, as cosy crime, it was not gory or grim. The murders are not focussed on at all which is great. However I also didn’t fall in love with the characters, but that is very personal.
An easy read/listen for the festive season.Glazael 2024-12-31
