Death at the Dolphin | 
pickI thoroughly enjoyed this classic murder mystery set in the theatre. A slow but engaging build-up as we meet the characters & intrigue is created with valuable relics & eccentric collectors. Alleyn is an elegant detective, the writing is beautiful, dialogue on point & the theatre world lovingly depicted. The murder comes late for modern reading tastes but I enjoyed being immersed in the world. The director‘s passion & actors‘ tantrums ring true.
