Theatre Whodunnits

There is a distinct sub-genre of theatre-themed murder mysteries. Actors on stage and backstage make for compelling twists.

Gumshoe recommended theatrical whodunnits include Janice Hallett's The Appeal (2021), Curtain Call by Anthony Quinn (2015) and the anthology Final Acts: Theatrical Mysteries, published in the British Library Crime Classics series.
