A review by lory_enterenchanted
Death Of A Hollow Man by Caroline Graham

dark funny mysterious tense

2.5

It was all right, but I was not overwhelmingly impressed. The characters were too stereotypical to really be engaging, and most of them were downright unpleasant. (Of course, one doesn't want to suspect pleasant characters of murder, so usually there are quite a lot of these in a murder mystery.) The mainspring idea was whether Salieri's throat-slicing in the play Amadeus could be made to happen in real life on stage. I found it unbelievable that a real cut-throat razor was used, that would be far too dangerous -- surely a non-sharp prop could have been found, rather than covering a real one with tape.
