Publisher's Summary:
What do a murdered Brighton flower seller, the death of Cleopatra and a nude tableau show have in common? One thing's for sure - it could be the most dangerous case yet for Stephens and Mephisto.
The fourth Stephens and Mephisto mystery from the author of the best-selling Dr Ruth Galloway series - a must-listen for fans of Bryant and May.
Christmas 1953. Max Mephisto and his daughter, Ruby, are headlining Brighton Hippodrome, an achievement only slightly marred by the less-than-savoury support act: a tableau show of naked 'living statues'.
This might appear to have nothing in common with DI Edgar Stephens' investigation into the death of a quiet flower seller, but if there's one thing the old comrades have learned it's that in Brighton, the line between art and life - and death - is all too easily blurred....
Critic Reviews:
"Mixes cosiness and sharpness in a way that recalls the best of Agatha Christie." (Sunday Express on Smoke and Mirrors)
Members Reviews:
Wonderful period detail
I love this series of books, and this one did not disappoint. Good story with great period details. Love the theatrical background, landladies and boarding houses. The characters are interesting and likeable. It is set in the winter and Elly even manages to make you feel cold. You can read this on its own but I recommend you read the series in order.
Another excellent adventure
The stories get more mature with each book. I didn't guess the perpetrator at all.
Good old fashioned murder mystery
I love the murder mysteries by this author. Hope there is more Stephens and Mephisto.
Slow and disappointing
Dull story so slow I gave up in the end pity sounded promising for me it just never got going
Entertaining read.
A good story with solid dependable & consistently portrayed characters and a plot with the inevitable twist well worthy of four stars.
