cmbohn's review against another edition
3.0
Inspector Ghote is at first surprised and pleased to be sent to investigate the murder of a movie star. But when he gets there, he finds that this is not going to be the quick and easy case he hoped for. He knows very little about the film world, and lead after lead seems to go nowhere. This may be the case that ruins his career.
I like Inspector Ghote. He is a very sympathetic character, with real human emotions. He is dazzled by the lovely leading lady. He imagines himself covered in glory and at the center of attention. He gets furious with stubborn suspects. But he sticks with it until he solves the case.
If you like mysteries set around movies, you might also like Frequent Hearses by Edmund Crispin and The Mirror Crack'd by Agatha Christie.
