5.0 out of 5 stars A THRILLING THEATRICAL TURNPAGER, June 20, 2004

This review is from: Foul Play (The Three Investigators Crimebusters, No 9) (The Three Investigators-Crimebusters, Book 9) (Mass Market Paperback)

One of the best in the CRIMEBUSTERS SERIES, with FUNNY BUSINESS and SHOOT THE WORKS .The Musical set is perfectly used for a plot rich of mysteries and surprises,with hilarious winks to everything count in the Broadway land, from WEST SIDE STORY to WEBBER to SOUND OF MUSIC.The backstage world is skilfully rendered and Pete Crenshaw's CHORUS LINE triumph is a pleasure for the old fans of Rocky Beach,California.The culprit is a genuine surprise and he's perhaps the most wicked in all the THREE INVESTIGATORS'series (Huganay excluded, of course!).A real pleasure with amusing Shobiz antics!
