Review Beneath the smooth, swan-like progression of Elly Griffith's sentences there is a lot going on. She is a witty writer: the sturdy legs of a toddler on a swing, for example, are said to be "kicking the sky.".

Product Information
'If only all history mysteries could be as good as The Midnight Hour' The Times A twisty new murder story from the bestselling author of the Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries. An old man lies dead and it looks like poison, but his wife isn't the only one who had reason to kill him. Brighton, 1965 When theatrical impresario Bert Billington is found dead in his retirement home, no one suspects foul play. But when the postmortem reveals that he was poisoned, suspicion falls on his wife, eccentric ex-Music Hall star Verity Malone. Frustrated by the police response to Bert's death and determined to prove her innocence, Verity calls in private detective duo Emma Holmes and Sam Collins. This is their first real case, but as luck would have it they have a friend on the inside: Max Mephisto is filming a remake of Dracula, starring Seth Billington, Bert's son. But when they question Max, they feel he isn't telling them the whole story. Emma and Sam must vie with the police to untangle the case and bring the killer to justice. They're sure the answers must lie in Bert's dark past and in the glamorous, occasionally deadly, days of Music Hall. But the closer they get to the truth, the more danger they find themselves in...Product Identifiers

Another tale to keep you guessing
I love this author's work and anticipate her new books eagerly. Each book can be enjoyed as a stand alone but by reading every book in the series, the development of the characters is more fully understood.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A colourful 1960’s thriller
A jolly good romp set in the theatrical & police world of the 1960’s & even more enjoyable to read because it’s without having to watch incessant chain smoking on screen ! I only recently discovered Elly Griffiths & so far prefer her standalones & Hardbinder novels to the archeological ones. I strongly recommend this one ,as it’s full of suspense , terrific descriptions of places & very likeable characters . Also with bountiful suspects was difficult to guess the murderer( which is only revealed at the end.)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The fantastic Elly Griffiths books
I have not started to read this book yet, but if it is only half as good as all her other books I am sure it will be brilliant. Elly Griffiths has yet to write a book that does not hold the attention of the reader from the very first word to the last. There is always mystery and intrigue be it set in Norfolk or Brighton and occasionally other locations. Plus the added love triangles. If there are any readers who have not come across her books before I am sure after their first encounter they will be back for moreVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
