 '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

'Utterly hilarious & thrillingly disgusting' MIRIAM MARGOYLES

A murder on stage. A cast full of suspects. Can dresser 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 national treasure, an amateur psychic 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 Jayne that the 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...

I found it hard to follow initially as there were so many narrators but I chose to stick with it and I’m glad I did. Funny thoughtful I really enjoyed this book and glad I chose to carry on listening.

I really enjoyed this. It's a great performance from the readers and a wonderful funny, sweet, acerbic and intriguing mix of cozy crime, romance, and tragedy. Beautifully written.

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.

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

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