Summary
A witty and inventive treat for lovers of all things Agatha Christie, Downton Abbey, and Knives Out.
Housekeeper Phyllida Bright is quite in her element at Mallowan Hall, the charming English manor that she keeps in tip-top shape. By contrast, the bustling metropolis of London, where her famed employer Agatha Christie has temporarily relocated, leaves Phyllida a bit out of her depth. Not only must she grapple with a limited staff, but Phyllida also has to rein in a temperamental French cook who has the looks of Hercule Poirot, but none of the charm.
When a man named Archibald Allston is found dead in an armchair onstage at the Adelphia Theater, first impressions are that he died of natural causes. But the very next day, the unlucky actor playing Benvolio at the Belmont Theater is found with his head bashed in. And when a third victim turns up, this time with double-C initials, the fatal pattern is impossible to ignore.
With panic erupting among theater folk—a superstitious bunch at the best of times—Phyllida steps up to help with the investigation. The murderer's M.O. may be easy to read, but can Phyllida uncover the killer's identity before the final curtain falls on another victim?

Completely Captivating
I was introduced to this series when book one was being given away free by audible. Well I was soon hooked and bought 2 and 3 immediately.
Book 4 did not disappoint either.
The plots are interesting and have a few twists and turns, but it is the fascinating character development that keeps me listening. ( by the way, the narration is superb)
The growing bond between Bradford and Philida is delightful and the gradual unveiling of their mysterious backgrounds is intriguing.
This is one of the best cozy crime series I have listened to and because of the length you dont feel cheated by a quick wrap up. Everything is satifyingly tied up in each book, but each one always leaving you wanting to know more about the characters. I am looking forward to many more stories about Mrs Bright, Bradford, Myrtle and Agatha.
