About this title: Sarah' Aunt Emma's theatre troupe is doing The Sorcerer, as Emma has always hankered to play Lady Sangazure. Perhaps she made a bad choice, though, by casting a well-connected con man in the title role. It's no mere evil spell that leaves Charlie Daventer dead on his bathroom floor. But the show must go on.

"I'm listening to The Plain Old Man by Charlotte MacLeod. I really liked her when I was younger, but now, and especially on audio, I find her writing annoying. I like the plot on this one - Sarah's aunt is putting on an amateur production of Gilbert and Sullivan when a painting is stolen and a cast member murdered - but enough with the interior monologue! Do something already! If it was a written book, I could skip forward, but with it being a tape, I don't know if I'm missing anything important. All this review of everything that has already happened and speculation on what might happen next - get on with it! I already read that part. Why are you telling me again? Very annoying. Why do authors do that? Do they think we can't remember from one chapter to the next? It's not like the book is that long.
Enough grumbling. I don't think I'll get any more audiobooks by her, though. Just not worth it."
