À propos de cet audio

In a poisonous cloud of spray, the curtain falls on a drama queen. Little did beloved British actress Mary Bellamy know that she would be done in at her own birthday party - choked by toxic mist from the bottle of Slaypest, a deadly insecticide.

Basking in the glow of her most adoring fans - who all happened to be her most duplicitous enemies - Mary would make her final performance.

When Superintendent Roderick Alleyn arrives, he smells a rat amongst the contemptuous collection of theatre types detained at the party, for this case has the unmistakable scent of murder....

Les plus pertinents
Not the worst, not the best, very predictable and not very mysterious but a comfortable sort of cozy mystery to have going while you're concentrating on other things (I listened to this one mainly while driving). Overall this novel would have been better cut down much further to short story length; there's just not a lot of substance in here.
