From Booklist:

Regan's novel is a slightly odd mix--a brutal murder mystery with touches of British cozy. Inspector Paul Banham is called to investigate when a beautiful young dancer is killed by a falling stage weight during the local theater's Christmas pantomime. The grisly scene brings back Banham's worst nightmare--the brutal murders of his wife and baby daughter a decade earlier. But his professionalism quickly kicks in, and he and his loyal sergeant, Alison Grainger, begin the long, tedious task of interviewing witnesses and ferreting out clues. There are plenty of suspects--indeed, everyone involved in the performance seems to have at least one guilty secret and a possible motive for murder. The investigation seems stalled until another murder occurs, and a deadly hostage situation evolves. The plot is slightly overcomplicated, but the combination of offbeat characters and forceful prose are more than enough to compensate. Emily Melton
