Understudies by Priya Sridhar (Hireath Publishing)
In this follow-up to Offstage Offerings, The Haunted Basilio Theater is back, and this time it’s (fraternal) twin sisters and playwrights Stella and Evangeline, the Stardust Sisters, who are leasing it to put on a show and make a name for themselves. Part Faustian bargain, part late stage capitalism, the story follows the pair as they make a deal w Read more of this blog post »

Charles is finished with The Little Dog Laughed: Another good installment, with Dave showing his age more but still capturing that part of him that can't let things go. Even when it puts him in danger. Because here he's basically on his own for 80% of the book, investigating despite not getting paid for it. Still, he's slipping and can start to see it and the book plays with that well. Cecil remains amazing.

Hmm. Lots going on in this, including some early-ish trans rep, which probably reflects some of the thoughts and realities of the time while still coming through as compassionate and somewhat balanced even now. The mystery itself is twisty and dramat ...more
