Cue for Murder - Helen McCloy

Image
  Cue for Murder by Helen McCloy is the fifth in the Dr. Basil Willing series. Willing finds himself in a complicated case, when a murder is committed on stage in the Royal Theater in full view of the audience. At the beginning there are no alibis,  no fingerprints, no motives, no tell-tale looks or gestures. The only clues are a canary and a fly. Basil Willing needs his psychological insight, his keen eye and his deductive abilities. It is a well written crime novel in the classic English tradition, and I enjoyed the reunion with Dr. Basil Willing very much! I got this e-book from Crime Classics via NetGalley. It is published in the series from  Agora Books called Uncrowned Queens of Crime.
