Fran Varady is insolvent, unemployed, and, though for the moment she's got the leaky roof of the squat she shares in Jubilee Street over her head, she'll very soon be homeless thanks to the council eviction department. Her dreams of becoming an actress, nurtured when her father and grandmother were still alive, seem a long way off. But Fran is a survivor . . . which her former housemate, Terry, found hanging from the ceiling of her room, clearly is not. Terry, secretive and selfish, was far from popular with the rest of the household, but her death shakes the Jubilee Street Creative Artists' Commune, as the squat residents half jokingly call themselves. And, the more Fran discovers about the death of the young woman whose life briefly intersected with her own, the more she begins to see it was not all it first seemed.

      As usual, amateur sleuth Fran Varady is broke, largely unemployed, and teetering on the edge of homelessness. As usual, everyone except her best friend, Ganesh, is skeptical about her abilities--this time to discover who killed her former housemate, Terry, found hanging from the ceiling. And as usual in Ann Granger's enjoyable British mystery series, Fran triumphs. Kim Hicks has read several of the Fran Varady series, to excellent reviews. This audiobook is not an exception. Hicks IS Fran Varady in the same way that Alec Guiness IS George Smiley. She also delivers a well-paced reading in which the other characters come alive. A convincing, entertaining performance.
