I didn‘t enjoy this as much as The Lost Coast or The Heartbreak Bakery for a variety of reasons (no real magic, the ending felt incomplete, a couple small instances of my pet peeve) but it was still wonderful. There‘s a murder mystery, a queer romance, a grand old theater, an abusive director, a Greek tragedy that isn‘t real but sure feels like it could be. Capetta‘s writing and the characters consistently suck me in.
