Summary

'Been reading this on m'olidays. It's perfectly ridiculous & also v funny...' - Dawn French
'Curtain Call To Murder positively explodes with the double-entendres and vicious wit that has become his trademark.' DAILY EXPRESS

A murder on stage. A cast full of suspects. Can dresser to the stars Jayne unravel the mystery?

It is opening night at the London Palladium, and tensions are running high amongst the feuding cast of "Leopard Spots." Amongst them are an ageing lothario, a national treasure, an amateur psychic and a comedian-turned actor all vying for the spotlight.

When an on-stage accident forces an unexpected intermission, it is clear only to dresser to the stars Jayne that the drama has turned deadly. Can she step out of the wings and identify the killer before it is too late? Or will murder make an encore...

Discover the year's most entertaining, devious and fabulous mystery from author, actor and comedian Julian Clary

Ripping Good Yarn

Excellent audible version of this murder story. Having the theatrical cast members narrate made it especially good and interesting. Julian Clary’s humour and side quips throughout brought bursts of laughter. Highly recommend.

Brilliant

Really good plot which was woven expertly into the world of the theatre (and Julian Clary). Narration was excellent and I loved the additional asides.

Clever plot, until the final denoument there were still 2 potential killers, although one was the more likely

Enjoyed JC's intercalated explanations, comments and especially his scurrilous ejaculations (or should that be interjections?).

An easy listen.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this. It took me a while to get into the story but I found myself laughing out loud. An enjoyable romp. with plenty of name dropping.

Hugely entertaining

Narrated by the brilliant Julian Clary this had me laughing out loud on more than one occasion. Tongue in cheek at times the story crackles along with beautifully drawn characters and a plot that will keep you guessing till the end. Loved every minute of it.

I'm giving this one a standing ovation

Absolutely loved everything about this. Telling the story through diary entries, articles, whatsapps, etc really added something for me. The characters & plot were strong & everything was neatly tied up at the end. Julian's trademark wit is in clear evidence here too, fans will not be disappointed. This is the first audiobook I've listened to with multiple narrators & it worked well. Fingers-crossed for a sequel!
