4.0 out of 5 stars
Two eldely actresses look for a role, but find murder.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Break a Leg, Darlings (Hardcover)
Trixie Dolan and Evangeline Sinclair refuse to accept the fact that they
are aging, former screen star greats. They reject all offers of roles that
are closer to their age because they are all poor, stereotypical parts. So
what do two former superstars do when they cannot find the roles they feel is
fitting for them? Simple, they make the rounds of the English pub theaters
seeking the perfect part. Each night, the duo suffers horrendous indignities
as they deal with the theatrical fringe who for the most part have no talent.
Trixie and Evangeline must cope with horrendous colloquy, even worse acting,
and the slummiest of locales and productions.
......As the search continues for a budding Shaw to star the pair in the next
great English play, Trixie and Evangeline are unaware of the danger that they
are in from an unknown stalker. Even one of their rivals was recently killed
and Trixie was shoved down a set of stairs. If the duo is not more careful
where they go for the nirvana of acting roles, they may find themselves
starring in the wrong production: the double murder of two aging actresses by
an unknown assailant.
......BREAK A LEG, DARLINGS is a humorous English cozy that fans of the
sub-genre will appreciate due to the constant bickering and droll antics of
the two female pals. However, in spite of the charm and the crazy situations
that Trixie and Evangeline always seem to find themselves starring in, the
novel is a classic cozy: limited action and suspense, making it not
everyone's cup of tea.
......Harriet Klausner
