## Description

Christmas 1935 at London's Theatre Royale and the drama has turned deadly... December 1935. Director Chester Harrison's production of A Christmas Carol has had a troubled run on its tour of regional theatres. With tensions amongst the cast running high, the company reach their final stop - London's Theatre Royale - a few days before Christmas. Catastrophe, however, strikes on opening night: 'Scrooge' dies on stage, seemingly due to a heart attack. But the show must go on. Until, that is, an old rival of Chester's is murdered in a dressing room. Are those associated with the production being picked off one by one? Journalist Daphne King is determined to reveal the truth... Readers love Ada Moncrieff's Christmas mysteries: 'A cosy murder mystery with the added charm of a Christmas setting. What more could a reader want?!' 'Brilliant... full of twists and turns' 'A modern rival to Agatha Christie' 'A new festive favourite' 'A jolly romp through murder, mystery and mayhem'
