5 stars!
A villain onstage and in real life meets his end during the village pantomime! I recommend A PANTOMIME OF PERIL to cozy mystery fans.
~Boys’ Mom Reads!
I highly recommend A Pantomime of Peril (as well as Tait’s other cozies) to all cozy mystery lovers…especially those of you who enjoy British settings! The plot is paced very well, and none of the details are unnecessary. The characters are wonderful and the mystery is well-plotted. I can’t wait for the next book!
~Christy’s Cozy Corners
Victoria Tait is an outstanding storyteller, and A Pantomime of Peril is another excellent example of her gifts.
