Theatre Whodunnits

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

Gumshoe recommends: Janice Hallett's The Appeal (2021), and the anthology Final Acts: Theatrical Mysteries, published in the British Library Crime Classics series.
