A Stranger in Disguise (A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome) by P.J. Mann – Review by Julie Johnson

A Stranger in Disguise: An Italian Murder Mystery by P. J. Mann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fans of Macbeth and crime/suspense stories will find this novel set in Rome, Italy to be intriguing.

A theatre troupe has been commissioned to perform the dreadful play Macbeth in a failing theatre. Anyone familiar with the story knows that bad things tend to happen to anyone involved in the production. A double murder does take place and it’s up to Detective Scala and his team to solve it.

Long hours, stakeouts, interviews, etc. all take place to come to the bottom of whodunit in this fourth book in the Detective Scala series. I was unaware that this was a series and read this book as a standalone without feeling like I had missed any previous information. I did find this book slightly slow in reading. Maybe it’s because I’ve been glued to the tv watching a high profile murder case that just wrapped up today.
