A Lambert and Hook mystery - DS Bert Hook is cajoled into auditioning for a local Shakespearean play. Desperate to get out of it, he expects his boss, John Lambert, to forbid him from performing. No such luck. Hook meets a rather surprising and sinister cast of characters. And when the director is found murdered, Hook needs to find the truth and fast. Who is innocent, who is just playing a part and who is really rotten to the core?

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Detective Bert Hook never thought of himself as having any acting talent, but when Mrs. Dalrymple, the redoubtable doyenne of the local drama group, insists he must play Polonius in the group's production of Hamlet, Bert finds himself agreeing. Never mind the slings and arrows, not to mention the sniggers and jokes, from his colleagues. The cast is a motley bunch, with the leading roles taken by Becky Clegg, a known shoplifter; Jack Dawes, a young punk from one of the council estates; the snooty but gifted wannabe actor Michael Carey; and "I'm no actor" Bert. Terry Logan, the director, is clearly the most talented of the bunch, but when Logan is found dead, Bert realizes he'll have to relinquish his Polonius persona and step into his police-detective shoes. Engaging, enjoyable, and well crafted, this is sure to please fans of Simon Brett's Charles Paris novels, also set in the world of British theater. Melton, Emily
