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

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

This is the 4th book in the Inspector Scala Mystery series. Thankfully these books can be read as standalone books as i haven’t read the previous 3 books yet. This book was a gripping murder mystery, full of twists and turns that keep you guessing from beginning to end.
The story contains many secrets and lies and people who aren’t who they make themselves out to be. Add to this the curse of Macbeth and it all added to a story you won’t be able to put down.
We start with a theatre company hired to put on a show of Macbeth but when one of the members of the acting company turns up dead it is up to Inspector Scala to solve the case and find the killer. After initially thinking the last known person was the suspect the Inspector soon realises just how wrong that assumption is and as the victims life starts to become more clearer secrets start to emerge which I didn’t see coming.
If you love gripping murder Mystery with characters that are complex then this is definately a book for you.
