About this listen

Violence finds its way to old Hollywood in the eleventh Josephine Tey mystery, perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Jacqueline Winspear.

September 1939, and the worries of war follow Josephine Tey to Hollywood, where a different sort of battle is raging on the set of Hitchcock's Rebecca.

Then a shocking act of violence reawakens the shadows of the past, with consequences on both sides of the Atlantic, and Josephine and DCI Archie Penrose find themselves on a trail leading back to the house that inspired a young Daphne du Maurier—a trail that echoes Rebecca's timeless themes of obsession, jealousy, and murder.

Another, and sadly, I think, the last of Nicola Upson’s superb series of books. Really excellent in every way. Sad there are no more, please write another Nicola

Such a treat to listen to another story about Josephine Tey. I’ve loved all Nicola Upson’s books in this series. Wish it had been longer!

I've loved all the books in the series; well written, clever plots, believable characters and a perfect portrayal of the time 'between the wars'. I was a little dubious about the action changing to the USA but I need not have worried. So much research must have gone into life aboard the QM, the Hollywood film business, the life of Alfred Hitchcock and the making of his films - I was mesmerised. I also love that real life characters are used in such an imaginative way. I learnt so much...bring on the next one!

Beautifully read by the narrator. Intriguing story with links to Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. Believable characters and descriptive settings. Maintains the very high standard of the other stories in the series.

Intriguing tale connected to Rebecca

Liked! The sense of history, of atmosphere, one could almost smell the greasepaint, so many emotions which could be felt by the reader/listener. Bravo!
Disliked! Absolutely nothing.
Bring on the next instalment!

Yet another triumph for Nicola and Josephine! Excellent to the last word.

Excellent plot, with the past, present and the fictional Rebecca so cleverly interwoven. Beautifully read by Sandra Duncan, as always.

So many reviews mention how beautiful these books are in both prose and narration. It seems strange to describe what are essentially murder mysteries as such, but they are. Historically interesting, deep character development, sensitively looking at murders as tragedy as well as “who done it”. They are very special books and I’m always pleased when another is released. This book again brings it all together. Superb.
