Just started listening and she's already mentioned Star Wars and Sweeney Todd. Sign me up for the long haul.

Great characters, and an engaging family mystery. The behind the scenes Broadway stuff was fantastic, and Riggle really brought that too life. My only complaint is the gay subplot. It felt a little too stereotypical.

A Broadway producer and lyricist loses his voice after a stroke. His granddaughter is trying to write his biography and starts digging into his past to find out why he stopped writing after one hit show. I'm *really* enjoying this so far.
