I used to write Murder Mystery Weekends for groups of amateur actors and I found it to be really really easy. All I had to do is to figure out the story line and then block in the action so that each player did something in each segment. This is easy to do because the actors develop their characters, I didn't.Unfortunately Mr. Green's approach in Saucerers and Gondoliers is a bit like the way I wrote the Weekends and as a result he has written a book with lots going on and that is it. His attempt at political humor and satire is crude and unsatisfying. Fine for pre-teens I guess, but not for an adult.I received a review copy of Saucerers and Gondoliers by Dominic Green (Kindle edition on Amazon) through NetGalley.com.
