A cute panto style Christmas mystery disaster. A modern epistolary narrative, we see the inner minds, juicy gossip, theatre politics, and criminal mystery, that while I was confused only for the first 50% had me hooked and gasping by the end. While not necessary to read the first story, it may have added context but we’ll never know, it was a quick and fun read.
