‘Her detective novels are hilarious – less about detecting than delighting, with absurd farce and a wonderful turn of phrase . . . Nancy Spain was bold, she was brave, she was funny, she was feisty. I owe her a great deal’ Sandi ToksvigWhen Prince Charming is murdered and the principal dancer hits the bottle, amateur sleuths Miriam Birdseye and Natasha Nevkorina come to the rescue. Sacrificing their Christmas plans for the sake of art and detecting, they join the pantomime. As ex-thespians, they know the show must go on – though the cast shrinks with each rehearsal. Can the indomitable detective duo discover the murderer before the final curtain falls?Fast paced and festive, this comic crime classic from Nancy Spain will keep you on the edge of your seat.
