Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seat to read the blog tour for this thrilling read.
Taking centre stage: At the Old Vic, one of London’s most iconic theatres, the stage is set for one of our national treasures to tread the boards in a new, sell-out play. Joan Ballantyne, now in her sixties, has attracted a new fan base with her role in an award-winning soap, Chicory Road, and they’ve turned out in force. As the curtain rises, it reveals the strangely still body of the leading lady, slumped in an armchair. The show will not go on…
Still recovering from the attempt on her life, Hannah Weybridge is stunned. She had been collaborating with the actress on her memoir. Now she has to contribute to her obituary. Suicide is suspected, but Hannah, from the little she knows of the woman, is sceptical. As is Joan’s son, the famous TV actor, Leo Hawkins, who implores Hannah to investigate the circumstances of his mother’s mysterious death.
Hannah is drawn into the lives of those who knew Joan. But who can she trust in a world where everyone seems to be playing a part?
Bobs and Books honest review:
As someone who adores the theatre, I had to read this. Wowies the drama did not disappoint, This starts with a bang and doesn't let up.
Hannah is a great character who seems to get involved in the off stage drama quite by accident. She's feisty and independent and I think she's brilliant.
I was suspicious of most of the other characters which means it must be written well if you trust no-one.
Plenty of twists, action packed. Superb conclusion.
