Elly Griffiths new series is off to an excellent start! Filling in the background for the characters who will likely populate the following books gives us the clues to find the killer. The solution has some interesting surprises, and the setting gives a true picture of life backstage, as well as British life after WWII. She's done her historical homework. I'm looking forward to the next installment to see how Griffiths makes a team of this disparate group, or if D. I. Edgar Stephens will be the point man, calling on his friends when needed. So far the narrators are Edgar and Max. Will this change? There are several other peripheral characters who may be pulled in for their unique talents.
