Summary
When her Aunt Emma's production of Gilbert and Sullivan's 'The Sorcerer' leads to murder and the disappearance of the Romney ancestral portrait, Sarah Kelling Bittersohn undertakes an investigation
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Sarah Kelling/Max Bittersohb series

Sarah's Aunt Emma's theater troupe is doing THE SORCERER as Emma has always hankered to play Lady Sangazure. Perhaps she made a bad choice, though, by casting a well-connected con man in the title role. It's no mere evil spell that leaves Charlie Daventer dead on his bathroom floor. But the show must go on. Cousin Frederick is hurled into the breach. Old Fred really can't tolerate the general assumption that his friend Charlie died by accident. He convinces Sarah that a murder has been committed. Sarah's husband, Max the detective, is off in Finland so she tackles the case herself. Clues aren't hard to find. Sarah sorts them out only to learn when the curtain falls that the show is far from over.

"Delightful fun with plenty of mystery to keep the pages turning." (Booklist)
