Night at the Vulcan/opening night August 6, 2008
Antony F. Potter (UK)

This book confirms Ms. Marsh in the topflight of the genre. We follow the beautifully detailed and knowledgeably described course of a new play from dress rehearsal to the opening night. The cast is a richly and sympathetically imagined group and into this mixture enters a breathless ingenue who has the classical dream that "next day on your dressing room they hang a star"!. Sounds like a cliche? Well yes okay but what is a cliche but a much told truth? And here it is told with mouthwatering skill. Oh and by the way there is a very satisfactory murder,each member of the cast has a motive and Supt Alleyn has the job of disentangling them. This is a book to read and re reread. You will stick the pages with sellotape as they fall out with too many uses. You will perhaps not be suprised to hear that I love this book. Its up there with Caroline Graham's "Death of a hollow man", which it slightly resembles.

This is one of Ngaio Marsh's best, and that means it is very good, but beware that "Night at the Vulcan" is the American title. In the UK it has always been published as "Opening Night".
