Review: Couldn't care about the characters or the story

Former actress/director Libby "Sarjeant with a J" moves to little Steeple Martin and rehearses an amateur group in a play by a local boy. The modern-day play rehearsal alternates with events of 1943, leading up to the murder portrayed in the play.There wasn't much to like about this book. Libby is a definitely drama queen and none of the other characters are particularly likable either, and there are so many of them I had trouble keeping straight who was related to whom and who did what. As usual with alternating plot lines in different times, they produced a disjointed feeling. I got about a quarter of the way through, realized I couldn't care less about what happened next, and quit. Grammar, spelling, and formatting were acceptable.
