Jocelyn O'Roarke's directorial debut in a Shaw Festival staged to save a historic theater is plagued by trouble. The one actor she is unhappy with has a heart attack during a preview performance. When he doesn't survive, his death is followed by attacks on other cast members and Josh begins to sense something deeper than mere ill-luck. She calls upon her ex-lover Lieutenant Phillip Gerrard for help, but will she trust him enough to tell him the whole truth?

I thought this was the weakest of the series that I have read so far. The setting (a revival performance of Shaw) was interesting and the characters were well drawn but the story dragged a bit. Still, I always like Dentinger's books; they're good bitchy fun. ( )

In memory of my father, John Cyril Dentinger (1911-86), who gave me, at an early age, my first and best writing tip: "If you can't spell it and define it, don't use it."
