Each Laura Purcell book I read becomes my new favourite. This one did not deviate from that expectation!  I think, because it focussed on well known plays and the theatre world, it held extra appeal for me.  I love her knack for writing creepy malevolence, with just a little (often jaw-dropping) gore along the way.  Handed this on to a friend within hours of finishing it - i need to be able to discuss this with someone else!
