The Funeral Of Figaro: Ellis Peters

By the creator of Cadfael. When Figaro is killed in an aeroplane crash it seems that nothing will save the production of Mozart's well loved opera. Then world-class baritone Marc Chatrier arrives from Europe and the cast breath a sigh of relief. Yet when he sets his cap at young Hero, the teenager daughter of the theatre's owner, feathers get ruffled. But there seems to be more than petty jealousy afoot. When Chatrier is killed in the midst of a performance, it's clear that someone has a vicious dislike of the man, but would anyone resort to murder? A broken love affair, a wartime betrayal and a respect of a servant for his master are all pieces of the puzzle set before D.I. Musgrave.
