Murder Takes the Stage (Peter & Georgia Marsh)

Review More than 20 years ago, Rick Marsh disappeared while on a backpacking trip. Despite the best efforts of his father and sister, true-crime writers Peter and Georgia, no trace of him was ever found. Never giving up, Peter and Georgia are following a new lead when Georgia has one of her "fingerprints in time" episodes--an eerie sense of evil done years earlier. Making no progress on Rick, Peter and Georgia decide to investigate the "fingerprint." They become involved in the case of Tom Watson, a circus performer accused and then acquitted of murdering his wife decades earlier. Despite Tom's acquittal, his friends and neighbors were sure he was guilty, so they weren't surprised when he disappeared. But there were plenty of people who had a motive for wanting Tom's wife dead and Tom out of the way permanently. Can they uncover the long hidden truth? As usual in this series (Murder and the Golden Goblet, 2007), Myers produces an entertaining, cleverly plotted mystery starring an engaging duo. --Booklist, 15th October 2009 About the Author Amy Myers has written a wide range of novels, from crime to historical sagas to contemporary romance.
