AN ACT OF FOUL PLAY Lady Hardcastle, Book 9

Elizabeth Knowelden zestfully presents Bristol, England, in 1911. Listeners meet eccentric and down-to-earth Lady Hardcastle and her feisty, dedicated companion/confidante, Flo Armstrong. When the ladies and several friends attend a play, no one expects that the corpse on the stage is real. Lady Hardcastle, Flo, and her twin sister, Gwen, swing into action, even before the police. Knowelden impressively conveys the nasty infighting of the cast, locals and gentry, and endless descriptions of mouthwatering food. Equally appealing is the secondary mystery of who's stealing a bottle a week from the local pub. The lively banter, along with countless motives and alibis, keeps listeners guessing--often incorrectly. Historical trivia and occasional laugh-out-loud moments add to the fun, making audio a must.
