Not knowing much about that world, I can't speak of its accurate portrayal, but it was entertaining. It was also interesting to be able to explore the relationships between the dressers and their actors, a topic which I never really thought about. The fact that she could work in clever references to Gilbert and Sullivan and Ruddigore throughout the book was just an added bonus.
But overall, the best part was the character Phryne Fisher. She is an unflappable woman with a good sense of humor, but she is also very much a lady.
The mystery was light-not much suspense and no gore as the title might lead you to believe. But it was a good amusement, and sometimes that is exactly what I am looking for in a book. Along the way, Phryne and her aviator friend, Bunji Ross encounter some trouble and must rescue an elderly Chinese woman and her grandson, Lin Chung good thing Phryne is handy with an axe. Phryne is enjoying the performance until Walter Copland, playing Sir Ruthven, collapses on the stage.
Other Editions The key to reading this tragicomic romp is to be found in Gilbert and Sullivan's own stage directions: stick to the script, play it deadpan, and let the audience find their own humour. She is not married, has no children and lives with a registered Wizard. Sparky TV relationship which never comes to anything on screen at least. Belinda Rosewell, the practice partner of Constance, a rising tennis star, dies at the start of the tournament. But it's an unexpected evening as her night is again interrupted by a most bizarre death onstage. She looks into the first out of curiosity- especially since it seems she's being watched as a result- and the theater producer asks her to look into the second, even before one of the victims dies.
The theater's manager and an old friend of Phryne's, Sir Bernard Tarrant requests Phryne's assistance, but the performance must go on first. Robert Craven takes over the part of Sir Ruthven and, near the end of the play, it is obvious that something is wrong with the man. It turns out that both men were poisoned. The production has been plagued with problems and some believe there is a ghost in the theater.
Sir Bernard hires Phryne to investigate. Jack is glad to have Phryne involved with this case he dislikes theaters. But the person responsible is not done tormenting the production. Can Phryne and Jack find the culprit before there is another fatality? And Phryne has not seen the last of the fetching Lin Chung. Ruddy Gore is an entertaining novel. It is always delightful to revisit the vivacious Phryne Fisher.
The story starts out a little slow while Phryne is enjoying Ruddigore, but the pace picks up after the performance. The book has an overabundance of characters. Readers are introduced to the cast of the play and the people who work behind the scenes at the theater. I do wish there had not been so many characters to weed through and that some of the core characters had been included in Ruddy Gore Bert, Cec, Dot, Ruth, Jane, the Butlers.
In addition, I missed Phryne's over-the-top personality. She was more subdued in this novel. Lin Chung is a nice addition to the series, and I am sure we will see him again in the future.
I give Ruddy Gore 3. I found the mysteries there is a thirty-year-old one too entertaining, but they can be solved if you pay close attention. It was interesting to see the differences between the book and the show by the same name. Personally, I was more a fan of the show.
It had more focus.
Information about the play and characters are discussed in length. While reading Ruddy Gore, you need to remember that the book is set in People's views towards Chinese were very different than they are today.
