Editorial Reviews

"A real romp. Hilarious. Wins our vote for Best Performance by an Actor on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown."

Marilyn Stasio

"If you enjoy the backstage backgrounds of writers like Ngaio Marsh and Simon Brett, and if the prospect of an unashamedly old-fashioned whodunit with no apparent concern beyond reader pleasure is attractive, this is your book."

Jon L. Breen

"Easily one of the best backstage murder mysteries I have read."

Joseph Scarpato Jr.

"Just as entertaining as a night at the theater...Actor is a real romp....The dialogue is crisp and witty."
