Lights, camera, murder!

This is another entertaining and captivating book in the fun Myrtle Clover series that I just love. Once again the author cleverly combines humour with mystery that keeps you hooked until the end. I love the characters and think they bring a smile to the face of anyone that listens to them. Whether it is psychic Wander making up horoscopes and drowning everyone in squash, Pasha the cat terrorising unsuspecting neighbours, Jack's energetic enthusiasm for everything, Miles bouts of insomnia, Myrtles own attempts at cooking there is bound to be a character or situation that will have you laughing. The mystery was good and entertaining and with so many suspects it does keep you guessing. I can see why this series has made it way all the way to book number 9 and do you know what? it hasn't lost any of it sparkle and I hope there are a lot more to come.
Myrtle and Miles are attending the opening night of the eagerly awaited showing of Malaise, a show put on at there local theatre, a group the Myrtle's very own daughter in law has become heavily involved with. The show hardly begins before the show is brought to a sudden stop, one of the actors was murdered on stage while the set was being changed. Myrtle soon discovers the actress wasn't very well liked making everyone on stage a suspect, but who had the opportunity to killer her? With help from her sidekick Miles the pair launch there own investigation and with the help of Wonders squash, which Mytle turns into a squash casserole they get to interview all the cast members but can they really narrow down the suspect list to one? Wonder is keeping busy writing horoscopes for the newspaper and growing vegetables, the only help she can provide them is to say "You are in danger". Can the pair find the killer or will it be curtains for one of them?
I liked the narrator as she gives each character there own voice and whether it was old or young it sounded just right for them.
