Praise for Death at the Dress Rehearsal


“Death at the Dress Rehearsal is certain to find a place in the hearts of cosy crime readers everywhere, with its breezy prose, its witty observations and the often hilarious interplay between its two thespian leads – not to mention the cracking mystery at its heart. Stuart Douglas has just delivered the best cosy crime novel since The Appeal.”
George Mann, author of the Newbury & Hobbes series


“It was a joy to be in the company of these Dad’s Army Detectives. I read the whole book in one sitting. Hugely enjoyable and lots of fun.”
Nev Fountain, author of The Fan Who Knew Too Much


“Glorious and ingenious! What a lovely start to what I hope will be a long-running series!”
Paul Magrs, author of Exchange


“Death at the Dress Rehearsal is a real tootsy-pop of a mystery thriller, with an irresistible conceit and enough twists and turns to bamboozle the most conscientious of armchair sleuths. Think you won’t love it? Who do you think you are kidding…?”
Steve Cole, author of the Young Bond series


“Holmes and Watson by way of Arthur Lowe and John Le Mesurier; a wonderfully mismatched duo who you can’t help falling in love with.”
Amy Walker, Trans-Scribe 


“Not many authors can write a book where each character has a unique voice. In most cases the inner monologues are much the same, the authorial voice thinly veiled. But not many authors are Stuart Douglas. Edward Lowe and John Le Breton are two of the most unique and disparate crime solvers you could find. Actors as unalike in their dispositions as their methods.” 
Elizabeth Lefebvre, Strange & Random Happenstance
