Deadly rehearsal

"As publicist for the Southmere Opera Festival, Jane Winfield was a short hop from London, where her solicitor husband, James Hall, pursued his career in Gray's Inn. The night of the dress rehearsal for La Traviata, James came down to Sussex, arriving just in time to discover they body of festival producer Julian Kingsley, sprawled at the base of an ancient stone tower..It was clearly murder. What wasn't clear was why anyone would kill the goose that laid the golden guineas. Or what connection there might be between a small but prestigious music festival and the string of violent coincidences that followed, jeopardizing Jane herself! The cast and crew were a jumble of past and future romances that took Jane, Andrew Quentin and a Milton-quoting investigator to unravel. One of the romances Jane knew all too well: James and Mrs. Julian Kingsley had been lovers. And with growing terror, Jane and the C.I.D.-found James far too willing to comfort the singularly ungrieving widow." -- (p.4) of cover.
