A really good story. The writing is tight and the plot has plenty of surprises, including the ending.

Chicago. 1935 A new play is about to be enacted at The Red Rising Theatre, but the leading actress Lisa Pluviam has received a death threat, saying that she will die on opening night. She engages private detectives Rowan Manory and Walter Williams to investigate. But events get more complicated than they thought.
A well-plotted, and well-written mystery which I enjoyed. It kept my interest right to the end.
A NetGalley Book

I had several issues with this book. First, it was very slow in developing. I think this was because of the time frame (1935), the characters were very 2 dimensional (maybe because of 1935), it tried to be too old - I mean trying to be as if it had been written in 1935. The mystery wasn't hard to figure out.

I thought it would be more entertaining being set in a theater, but sadly,no.
Wouldn't recommend and don't plan to try another by this author.
