It’s curtains down for one actor when preparations for a new murder mystery play at the local theatre take a chillingly real twist ...
The Librarian
Retirement was beckoning until local lawyer Adam Cunningham – aka the Hopewell Players’ pantomime dame – requested my professional opinion on the script of their next play that he’s been given.
The Lawyer
The script is terrible! And it rips off a number of Golden Age mysteries. With Roly’s knowledge of crime fiction, I might be able to get the whole thing cancelled.
The Producer
I couldn’t believe it when I learned that my late father had written a play of all things! And now the players will perform his work – until one of them is found dead. . .
The Inspector
A body on the stage of the local playhouse doesn’t happen often round here. Was it a pre-rehearsal accident, suicide . . . or is the spotlight about to fall on a murderer?
Told from the point of view of four unreliable narrators, most of whom can’t be trusted – The Librarian, The Lawyer, The Producer and The Inspector – this cunningly inventive novel is a refreshingly fun, subversive take on the crime fiction genre.
