Dell Mapback #212.
This tale of murder onstage is the best of the Basil Willing books. Unlike most theatrical mysteries, which usually involve productions of either Hamlet or Macbeth, this one is set during a wartime production of Victorian Sardou's melodrama Fedora, which offers a unique opportunity for a stage killing. Willing unmasks the murderer through a physical clue--a housefly--and a psychological one--a canary. The plot is watertight, the characters suitably dramatic, and the pace brisk. - The Mystery Lover's Companion, Art Bourgeau
