About this listen
They say the show must go on. Thank goodness for intermission.
Dashiell Dawson Dane isn’t thrilled that a new play at the community theater is based (however loosely) on his life. But when Dash’s friend Fox asks him to attend opening night, things take a strange turn: the actor playing Dash’s role seems to have been given a different script. Even stranger, the new lines trigger a bizarre response from the rest of the cast and crew—right before the lights go out and the box office is robbed.
At Fox’s request, Dash agrees to investigate, but he’s surprised to discover that everyone at the theater seems more preoccupied with the altered (and now missing) script than with the robbery. And when one of the actors is murdered in what appears to be a burglary gone wrong, Dash is sure there’s something much darker afoot.
But someone is determined to keep the truth from coming out, and Dash will have to navigate aging starlets, a disgruntled custodian, and a reclusive stage manager—among others—to catch the killer before they can strike again.

Look, we're on book 11 (the penultimate book, I'm seriously going to cry), so if you're someone who hates the non-communication trope, what are you still doing here?! Dash and Bobby are both the absolute worst at communicating and both do their own thing that inevitably makes it MUCH WORSE. (It must be exhausting to be in that relationship).
But I think one of the beautiful things about this, is it leaves the door open for the rest of the Last Picks. They are truly a family, and always notice when Dash is struggling, so there's always someone who can step forward and do the headbanging, er...showing them that they need to talk. Maybe, just maybe, Dash and Bobby will be solid moving forward (I wont hold my breath though!).
This was Fox's story, and they've truly been an enigma outside of their flamboyant fashion sense and dramatic flair, so it was great to get a little more of their backstory (I was hoping they'd have some sort of romantic arc so I'm a little sad that we still dont have that), but we got to find out what shaped them into who they are and what they're doing when they aren't at Hemlock House. The mystery was solid, as always, but it honestly took way more of a backseat than in previous books. There was still multiple red herrings and whodunnits, and I was hooked in of course, but the relationships were the absolute main focus and I loved it.
I love Fox, I love Dash, I love all of them!!
