Summary
A murder on the stage of a packed theatre, a company of actors ripped apart by rivalries, and a secret that has simmered for decades. England, 1927. When an actor is killed during the performance of a new mystery play, his colleagues refuse to believe it was an accident and turn to Lord Edgington for help. The renowned detective must navigate a labyrinth of deceit to solve the crime, but when every possible culprit is on the cast list, it’s hard to know who’s telling the truth and who’s playing a part.

To save the other actors from the killer’s knife, the master sleuth and his loyal grandson race to outwit their opponent, but will they unravel the tangled threads of the case before more lives are claimed?

Set against the backdrop of the opulent theatres and luxurious hotels of London's West End in the twenties, A Killer in the Wings is a witty and suspenseful whodunit with a cast of devious suspects and a carefully twisting plot that will leave you guessing until the curtain falls.

The Lord Edgington Investigates audiobooks are narrated by George Blagden from the TV shows, Vikings, Versailles, and the Oscar-winning film of Les Miserables.

I love the Lord Edgington series and George Blagden is fabulous! Always light-hearted, humorous and fun mysteries. This one, however, was hard to follow. So many characters and ‘play within a play’ inserts that were confusing. I’m glad this wasn’t the first in the series or I may not have continued. Despite this set back, I look forward to the next installment!

I really enjoy the series but this was tough to following. A play within a play within a story. Even so, I'm looking forward to #12.
