Summary
Violence finds its way to old Hollywood in the eleventh Josephine Tey mystery, perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Jacqueline Winspear.
September 1939, and the worries of war follow Josephine Tey to Hollywood, where a different sort of battle is raging on the set of Hitchcock's Rebecca.
Then a shocking act of violence reawakens the shadows of the past, with consequences on both sides of the Atlantic, and Josephine and DCI Archie Penrose find themselves on a trail leading back to the house that inspired a young Daphne du Maurier—a trail that echoes Rebecca's timeless themes of obsession, jealousy, and murder.

Truly thrilling Tey
Another, and sadly, I think, the last of Nicola Upson’s superb series of books. Really excellent in every way. Sad there are no more, please write another Nicola

Brilliant as ever
Such a treat to listen to another story about Josephine Tey. I’ve loved all Nicola Upson’s books in this series. Wish it had been longer!

Quite Brilliant
I've loved all the books in the series; well written, clever plots, believable characters and a perfect portrayal of the time 'between the wars'. I was a little dubious about the action changing to the USA but I need not have worried. So much research must have gone into life aboard the QM, the Hollywood film business, the life of Alfred Hitchcock and the making of his films - I was mesmerised. I also love that real life characters are used in such an imaginative way. I learnt so much...bring on the next one!

Loved this book
This is the first book I have listened to from Nicola Upton and I will go on to listen to more from her. Beautifully narrated. It was excellent.

Intriguing tale connected to Rebecca
Beautifully read by the narrator. Intriguing story with links to Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. Believable characters and descriptive settings. Maintains the very high standard of the other stories in the series.

Yet another triumph for Nicola and Josephine! Excellent to the last word.
Liked! The sense of history, of atmosphere, one could almost smell the greasepaint, so many emotions which could be felt by the reader/listener. Bravo!
Disliked! Absolutely nothing.
Bring on the next instalment!

Mysterious and beautiful
So many reviews mention how beautiful these books are in both prose and narration. It seems strange to describe what are essentially murder mysteries as such, but they are. Historically interesting, deep character development, sensitively looking at murders as tragedy as well as “who done it”. They are very special books and I’m always pleased when another is released. This book again brings it all together. Superb.
