A group of actors are gathered at the estate of their rich backer to research before their next play. Crimes then begin to occur, first theft of money then finally the theatre set designer being found dead in a lake in her white pjyamas.
The story is a little slow to get going, and has a lot of characters who need to be established which doesn't help with the pacing early on but once it is up and running, and the police detective gets to work, it is a fine murder mystery.
