Chrissy's friend Marmaduke barges in to Cranley Hall to enlist Chrissy and his Grandfather Lord Edgington's help in solving a murder. It's a good thing too as Lord Edgington is in a funk and going stir crazy. Chrissy and his Grandfather head off to London to the theater. A new play is about ready to open but it seems to be beset by accidents and even murder. Can Christopher and his grandfather solve the case? Better yet, what happens when Lord Edgington demands that Christopher solve the case on his own? Is Chrissy ready for that?
This one took me a while to get through. I don't know if I was distracted by other things going on or if I just wasn't into it. I enjoyed the twist at the end where Lord Edgington made Chrissy solve the case on his own. I liked that he is putting more confidence in Christopher. There were a lot of characters so it did feel like I was lost sometimes in trying to figure out who was who. Was the killer a surprise? For me it was! I thought for sure it was a couple of other people! Not my favorite Lord Edgington book, but good nonetheless and I'll be reading the next book in the series before too long!
