Loved it

Whilst I love Mr Ball and would watch him in many West End shows, dare I say it, I'm not sure if these books are his greatest work (I hope he will forgive me for this). There is humour in the books and a huge cast of characters. His latest, "A Backstage Betrayal" follows on from "The Empire" after the fire and the theatre that has been rebuilt and we are now in the 1920s. It is full of drama but with so many characters it is difficult sometimes to keep up. Big shout out though for cold cream loving Harry the rat who was my favourite character.
