3.5 / 5This was a fast, light, entertaining read that I finished very quickly.Emily Castles attends a neighbourhood party at a large house occupied by a collection of performance artists. During the party strange happenings begin to occur. Are they just part of the entertainment or is something more sinister afoot? Emily thinks the latter, but no-one else believes her, and her noseying around soon puts her in danger.Emily makes an appealing amateur sleuth. She's observant, determined, and funny at times. This droll novella reminded me a little of a Barbara Pym novel, but it was a bit too short to properly engage me. I didn't know much about Emily, apart from the fact that she recently lost a beloved dog, and that prevented me from really caring about her.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
