- Summary
- "If you haven't read or seen Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, there's not much need to after this, as Clifford Witting delivers a virtual disquisition of the play within what is otherwise an excellent mystery set around an amateur dramatics society in rural England. Although it takes a while to get used to Witting's superfluous writing style, this clever two-act whodunit wallops you with the identity of the victim mid-way through and then crafts an ingenious puzzle littered with many red herrings and a cracking solution."--Goodreads
