Product Description

Review

'An exemplary crime novel' Literary Review 'An ingenious murder..and a clever solution' The Times 'Hard to praise highly enough' The Sunday Times 'Lots of excellent character sketches... and the dialogue is lively and convincing' Independent 'A mystery of which Agatha Christie would have been proud... A beautifully written crime novel' The Times 'The best-written crime novel I've read in ages' Susan Hill, Good Housekeeping


Product Description

A visit to a Causton Amateur Dramatic Society production is not Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby's idea of good entertainment, but loyalty to his wife prevails. And when the leading man takes his role too much to heart in a gruesome final act, Tom finds his professional skills are called upon.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the original "Midsomer Murders"., 14 Aug 2003
By John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
You have probably read hundreds of books that use these ever-fresh ingredients. There is one small English village, peopled by eccentric collectors, partner-swapping couples, and a class system in microcosm, housing well-disguised deviants who write poison pen letters, carry guilty secrets, or devise well-planned murders.

Caroline Graham is a current dealer in these items, and I reckon she turns them into as good an entertainment as any writer, past or present, I know. Her own experience in the theatre provides the amazing verisimilitude in this, her second crime novel. The murder occurs during the opening night of an amateur production of “Amadeus”.

Older readers will recall how New Zealand writer Ngaio Marsh used the theatre for some of her murder mystery settings. Miss Graham is a much better writer. Rarely in detective fiction will you find such depth and variety of character drawing, and such charming and elegant prose.

Her sleuth is Chief Inspector Barnaby and his assistant is Sergeant Troy. As created by Caroline Graham, they are considerably different from their television depictions in a popular series “Midsomer Murders” that has already run to more than twenty episodes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer brilliance., 1 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This particular Graham novel illustrates clearly her competance as a novelist. The scene is set superbly as soon as you open the book, and continues to be both real and interesting throughout. Well thought out character sketches, and indeed the characters themselves are often humourous and always believable. Yet, this is the sort of thing I've come to expect from Graham. If there is a more underrated author you'd have to get up pretty early to find one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas pudding of a book, 24 Jan 2003
By Antony F. Potter "teepot2" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is Caroline Graham at her very best, and her best is very very good indeed. She stirs the most gorgeous ingredients in the most skilful manner possible, cooks them with relish and serves it with luscious sauce. This is the detective story Dickens would have written if he had been alive today. Her characters her action and her pace are always superb but this in my opinion is her best book. Did you ever read Paying Guests by Benson? well Hollow man is Paying Guests with heart and action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing hollow about this novel
Graham scores again. What a simple setting - pretty village, the wonderful Barnaby, lovely Troy and then a murder. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars genius
Ms. Graham is a genius. I wait in vain for a new book from her, it seems. What a loss to the mystery novel-loving community. Her prose simply sparkles.
