In the charming Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough, the stage is set for murder . . .
Helen Dexter has started a new chapter in her life as sole proprietor of the Seaview Hotel.
But things take a dramatic turn when an acting troupe book into the hotel to rehearse a play they hope will save a much-loved theatre from being closed down. Helen immediately picks up on tension between the actors, but there is worse to come when the charismatic leading lady is found dead.
With so much at stake, it's clear the show must go on. Helen is roped into helping the troupe with their performance, giving her ample opportunity to discover who wanted their diva dead.
However, the murder is not the only thing on Helen's mind. She's receiving threatening phone calls, her car is vandalised - and she's just learned of an impending visit from a hotel inspector which could change the fortunes of the Seaview Hotel.
With her trusty greyhound Suki by her side, Helen is determined to uncover the identity of the killer - even if it means she has to give the performance of her life.

Picked up this book to have a quick read for the evening before a trip away. 3 days later, I finished it (which is quick for me). The author has my sense of humour and had me laughing out loud. If somebody doesn't make a great British 'who dunnit' comedy of this story, it would be a great shame.
