THE FUNERAL OF FIGARO

by Ellis Peters ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 3, 1964

The Leander Theatre's repertory opera company had a full complement of artistic temperaments fermenting backstage even before the arrival of their new baritone. Womanizer, blackmailer and coward, Marc Chatrier was nevertheless a great singer. The company's rough and ready owner had a young daughter who couldn't resist flirting with him and singers and stage hands watched half-fascinated and half-repelled. Nobody was looking the night Marc was murdered. The mystery runs the full scale of deception detection combined with a recitative of young love. By the author of Death and the Joyful Woman.
