Background: In this installment of Emily Castles Mysteries, Emily is helping her neighbor at her drama school when someone turns up dead. Again she teams with Dr. Muriel to solve the mystery of his death.Review: Again I was a little disappointed by the writing. The long-winded sentences threw of my reading. I was interested to find out who-done-it so I did want to finish the story, there was enough build up that made it easy to continue reading.I still think Emily is a bit off, I need more character development for her. She is very uninterested in the going-ons of others but very involved in the case solving, and it is weird. I think back to great mystery writers like Agatha Christie, who made you love the detectives...even if they weren't actually detectives but instead a random old lady. I think that if me to love these stories I need more attachment to the people solving the mysteries.There is a full book, not novella, coming out, so hopefully the characters grow.
