Book Description

Dec 19 1976 Hilary Quayle Mysteries
Hilary Quayle and her assistant, Gene, are asked to take on the publicity for an extravagant production of Macbeth to premiere at Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum. Hilary had known the director many years ago in summer stock. Events proceed as usual in the theatrical world -- a world fraught with the hectic, the impassioned, the absolute certainty that nothing will be ready by opening night, and the absolute drive to belie that certainty.

And on the night of the technical/dress rehearsal all efforts seem to be paying off with a rather splendid production -- until one of the corpses turns out not to be acting, and the gunshot during the blackout turns out to be no flamboyant anachronism.

Hilary suspects "the play's the thing" and studies the text and old sourcebooks, her trail finally taking her to the Folger Library in Washington, D.C. Gene, meanwhile, pursues the problem in more traditional fashion. His investigations leads through New York's glamorous and less than glamorous theatrical circles.

The conclusions and solutions they find will surprise everyone. Bullets for Macbeth is an exciting puzzle operating on several levels for the reader who enjoys good and intriguing mysteries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever and fun Sep 21 2005
By D. K. Morrison - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a terrific little mystery, with engaging characters and a nice literary history concerning the many superstitions surrounding Shakespeare's jinxed "Scottish Play." The conclusion, in which both the identity of the murderer and the answer to the play's big historical mystery are revealed, is ingeneous and will please both mystery and Shakespeare fans alike. You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.
5.0 out of 5 stars A rich and hard to stop reading thriller! Dec 19 2012
By Bill Baker - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Having read and seen Macbeth a bunch of times in various forms, as well as taught it, this mystery fit like the proverbial glove - but like many great mysteries, the whodunit was almost secondary for me to the narrator's relationship with his sarcastic woman boss; it's the battle of the sexes all over again - or is it? For me, I was more intrigued by their relationship - do they really care for one another? Do they love one another? - than I was for the murder's solution.

But the solution - and this is a puzzler you'll never guess - is what really generates the suspense in this rich and hard to stop reading thriller.
