Description
I found This description in "1,000 Books To Read Before you Die" by James Mustich ((c) 2018):
"A Wildly Choreographed Comic Mystery:
"This distinctively funny British novel—the first in a series of four centering on the fortunes of impresario Vladimir Stroganoff and his rambunctious ballet troupe—delivers comedy in high style....Stroganoff and his dancers are remarkable largely for their off-stage antics and their unbridled eccentricities...While [this] is a murder mystery replete with corpses, suspects, interrogations, and revelations, suspense plays second fiddle to the decidedly screwball melody."
