Mystery's own drama queen,
By
This review is from: Who Dropped Peter Pan?: A Jocelyn O'Roarke Mystery (Paperback)
For theatre fans who also happen to like mysteries Jane Dentinger is a particular treat. Her New York actress/sleuth Jocelyn O'Roarke involves us in investigations where she is a professional actress but an amateur snoop. In this one Jocelyn pursues the murderer of the star of a summer-stock production of "Peter Pan." Jocelyn/Jane is funny, bitchy, and full of details about both the theatre and crime. If this is your milieu, this is your book.

Forget the crime; enjoy the characters and dialogue.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Who Dropped Peter Pan?: A Jocelyn O'Roarke Mystery (Paperback)
A pleasant read, with some fascinating characters, in particular Suspect #2 and his lawyer. Problem is, I was so amused by some of the characters and the witty dialogue that I didn't really care who committed the murder or how, even when the culprit was revealed. The setting of a theatrical company in which the director, whom everyone in the company has some reason to do away with, gets bumped off is hardly original. I read most of the book on a flight from Japan to Europe, but was able to put it down to watch "Small Soldiers" and finish it later. Was a good choice to while away the time on a plane ride, however.

witty theatrical mystery,

This review is from: Who Dropped Peter Pan?: A Jocelyn O'Roarke Mystery (Paperback)
I think this is the last one Dentinger wrote but it's a hoot. Jocelyn has problems juggling her two boyfriends while solving the mystery of who killed the actor/director who played Peter Pan. Lots of interesting NY and theatre type characters including the tough NYC lawyer who falls for her client. This is a classic in my opinion.
