This case begins when one actor sticks a knife into another on stage and kills him. Roarke is bringing back a play by Agatha Christie and Eve has to investigate the tangled relationships between all of the actors. This one incorporates mothers in many ways and gets both Roarke and Eve thinking about theirs. Peabody and McNab are in a relationship and Trueheart becomes part of Eve's team.Reading this on my Kindle lets me see what others have chosen to highlight. There are lots of wonderful, emotional quotes in this story.
