      Lynda La Plante has done her job to a turn in this richly plotted Anna Travis whodunit, but for maximum fun, Kim Hicks's performance makes you laugh with surprise and delight as she comes up with distinct voices for so many characters that it's like watching 25 circus clowns pile out of a Morris mini. How does she do it? La Plante's victim--a very beautiful, very young, very self-destructive actress--is murdered in the middle of a movie. Everyone on the production is a suspect, ditto all the past leading men she slept with, their wives, her agent, and even her parents. And then Hicks also portrays the entire detective force. (It's a high-profile case.) Hicks nails them all; plot and performance are completely satisfying. B.G. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

      In La Plante's disappointing fifth mystery to feature London's Det. Insp. Anna Travis (after 2009's Deadly Intent), Travis looks into the stabbing murder of 24-year-old movie star Amanda Delany in her Belgravia mews house. The case is a jumble of dead-ends from the start, even though Delany had a reputation in the film community as a drug user prone to affairs with her male co-stars. But without a murder weapon, usable fingerprints, or even a motive, Travis and her team struggle to find viable leads. Complicating matters is the arrival of Det. Chief Supt. James Langton, Travis's former flame and ex-boss, who wants fast results. Eventually, Travis discovers not only that Delaney had been writing a scandalous memoir but that she suspected someone close to her was stealing her money. Travis is no longer a rookie (in fact, she's up for promotion to detective chief inspector), but her detecting skills are elementary at best, and the predictable plot doesn't give her much room to shine.
