March 1934. Revered mystery writer Josephine Tey is traveling from Scotland to London for the final week of her play Richard of Bordeaux, the surprise hit of the season, with pacifist themes that resonate in a world still haunted by war. But joy turns to horror when her arrival coincides with the murder of a young woman she had befriended on the train ride - and Tey is plunged into a mystery as puzzling as any in her own works. Detective Inspector Archie Penrose is convinced that the killing is connected to the play, and that Tey herself is in danger of becoming a victim of her own success. In the aftermath of a second murder, the writer and the policeman must join together to stop a ruthless killer who will apparently stop at nothing.

Would you try another book from Nicola Upson and/or Davina Porter?
No.What could Nicola Upson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The initial plot seemed interesting but I felt like the author was trying too hard to advance a gay agenda...great for some folks, but for the tame at heart, I'd look elsewhere. I did not finish the book.Great-catchy story but a bit too left-leaning

So many character names!

The plot became increasingly preposterous and the author started to rely on the characters to tell us what happened. So we get long monologues filling in details.. By the end the characters are mostly just sitting around explaining things to each other.
Not a bad mystery

The plot is fantastic. The characters are enjoyable. I definitely want to listen to more in this series.
Davina Porter is excellent as always. I could listen to her read a cookbook and enjoy it.
I loved it!

First, the language is not early 20th century appropriate. Too many psychological concepts are described in late 20th century vernacular with insights not available at the time. Second, much of the descriptions of the effects of the War are repetitive. Laurie R. King does a much more convincing job of *showing* us its devistation on a generation, rather than telling us. Third, the incredible tension arising from homophobic social perspectives is not convincingly presented.
I listened to the second in the series, and unfortunately it is pretty dreary and comes with a too apt and convenient ending.
Good narrator; pedestrian story

Davina Porter is one of my favorite narrators and I loved listening to her read this. I'm looking forward to starting Book 2.
Quite good!
