Title: Good story, but the ending...3.5 stars
Review: I'm very torn between 3 & 4 stars. I enjoyed the story very much--till the end, esp. the fine characterizations--esp. Verity, the playwright. Alleyn & Fox got a bit more physical in this one too. I did figure out most of it, but the ending left me kind of annoyed, even incredulous. To describe the problem would involve a big spoiler, so I'll refrain, but either the murderer is a psychopath or had an unbelievable psychology IMHO. Still, this was otherwise a quite clever book. It is also available in a nice collection of 5 novels with "Scales of Justice, Death of a Fool, Tied Up in Tinsel, & Photo Finish")--FIVE COMPLETE NOVELS SCALES OF JUSTICE DEATH OF A FOOL TIED UP IN TINSEL GRAVE MISTAKE PHOTO FINISH
