Description
Now adapted into a major film as THE CRITIC starring Ian McKellanOn a sultry afternoon in the summer of 1936 a young woman is witness to an attempted murder in a London hotel room.Nina, a West End actress, faces a dilemma: she shouldn’t have been at the hotel in the first place, and certainly not with a married man. But once it becomes apparent that she has seen the face of the man the newspapers have dubbed ‘the Tie-Pin Killer’ she realises that unless she acts quickly, more women will die…From the glittering murk of Soho’s underworld to the grease paint and ghost-lights of theatreland, Curtain Call is a poignant and gripping story about love and death in a society dancing towards the abyss.

About The Author | Anthony Quinn was born in Liverpool in 1964. From 1998 to 2013 he was the film critic for the Independent. He is the author of six novels: The Rescue Man, which won the 2009 Authors’ Club Best First Novel Award; Half of the Human Race; The Streets, which was shortlisted for the 2013 Walter Scott Prize; Curtain Call, which was chosen for Waterstones and Mail on Sunday Book Clubs; Freya, a Radio 2 Book Club choice, and Eureka. |
This is an utterly delightful read, made to appear easy, effortless and brilliantly suspenseful, while never becoming predictable or cosy…. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. |

Other text | It had me on the edge of my seat. The only disappointment…is when the curtain finally has to come down |
