Summary
Murder precedes the raising of the curtain on the opening night of a new opera production and Superintendent Nichols moves in to settle the score
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Opera singers are often described as being larger than life, and certainly this is true of Gaylene Ffrench. Her appetites â for men, for booze, for attention â are gargantuan, and her ability to irritate is similarly outsized. So when someone electrocutes the bombastic Australian contralto, few tears are shed at the Northern Opera Company (though itâs a pity her understudyâs so lousy). In fact, most of the company members are dancing a jig, and it falls on Superintendent Nichols to determine which of them might have helped Gaylene along to her just reward. The black tenor tired of being the butt of Gayleneâs bigotry? The soprano weary of jealous whispers in her ears? Gayleneâs many bedroom conquests, all anxious to avoid a repeat performance? With so many potential suspects, Nichols has his hands full, but Barnard and his readers have a deliciously malicious good time.
