Brilliant
Really good plot which was woven expertly into the world of the theatre (and Julian Clary). Narration was excellent and I loved the additional asides.

Clever plot, until the final denoument there were still 2 potential killers, although one was the more likely
Enjoyed JC's intercalated explanations, comments and especially his scurrilous ejaculations (or should that be interjections?).

Once you get used to the format it's a good story...
Loved all of Julian's prior novels and once I got used to the format of this one I loved it too. BUT...beware, the voice actor who plays the character of Simon and Robin (amongst others) is horrendously bad. He pronounces Leopard Spots (the name of the play in the book) leo-pold spots. It grates so hard that I had to fast forward at some points when he was speaking. All the other narrators pronounce it correctly as lep-ard spots, so it seems whoever reviews these audio books for continuity thought it wouldn't be picked up by listeners and it would do. Yes it was. And yes it was bloom' irritating especially as that voice actor narratated key characters. And no it won't just do. Hence the low rating for the performance as, sadly, he brings the whole cast down.

An easy listen.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this. It took me a while to get into the story but I found myself laughing out loud. An enjoyable romp. with plenty of name dropping.

I'm giving this one a standing ovation
Absolutely loved everything about this. Telling the story through diary entries, articles, whatsapps, etc really added something for me. The characters & plot were strong & everything was neatly tied up at the end. Julian's trademark wit is in clear evidence here too, fans will not be disappointed. This is the first audiobook I've listened to with multiple narrators & it worked well. Fingers-crossed for a sequel!
