Omschrijving
Brighton, 1950s, mid-winter. Two missing children are found buried under snow in this chilling new case for DI Stephens and Max Mephisto.
An excellent whodunnit, matched by the terrific down-at-heel atmosphere of postwar Brighton
Griffiths evokes with skill the seedy allure of the provincial theatre and the drabness of a Britain that is still rationed
Mixes cosiness and sharpness in a way that recalls the best of Agatha Christie and has a feel for showfolk worthy of Ngaio Marsh
Original, lively and gripping
