An entertaining romp of a novel narrated by Harriet, the middle and only sensible child of a celebrated theatrical couple. Nothing will ever be the same after her father is accused of murdering his arch rival. Situations and characters verge on the preposterous but, as in all Victoria Clayton's books, the food is delicious and there are underlying truths beneath the trivia. If you're looking for a well written piece of escapism, try this.
