Good plot, interesting people - like her tales more as time goes on. No graphics, profanity or gore but still a little creepy (in a good way) . Well narrated and highly recommended. ( ) Charlotte Pitt's mother, Caroline, has traveled with husband Joshua Fielding and his theatrical troupe to Whitby. Joshua has arranged to produce a stage adaptation of the book “Dracula”, but the project is a disaster. Then a black-cloaked stranger emerges from a snowstorm who turns out to be a theatrical genius. But at the same time, a brooding evil makes itself felt. Well-written historical mystery with well-developed characters. The story was somewhat interesting but I think the focus is more on the characters. It was a quick holiday read. I haven't read any of the Pitt mysteries by this author but this book features Charlotte's mother, Caroline. Caroline is married to an actor whose troupe is invited to Whitby for a private performance of a play written by a potential benefactor's daughter. The play is based on Bram Stoker's "Dracula". A stranded traveller seeks hospitality when a snowstorm hits, but this traveller seems to understand acting and producing for the stage. Then he is found murdered. Due to the snowstorm, the killer has to be someone already on the grounds--unless the traveller is a vampire who was invited in? There are some good comments about good vs. evil. Evil needs to be invited in. And we recognize goodness because of evil. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
