All the world’s a stage . . . for murder!
Excitement is building for the first performance of Shakespeare’s As You Like It by the Merriday Players at the new outdoor theatre in the grounds of Tanton Towers. Happy Huffkin café owner Cara Shelley is delighted to provide the refreshments.
But there’s a hitch. Tensions are running high between the director of the play, Hannah Ashman, and members of the cast, all of whom are descendants of either Edward Merriday’s first or second wives. When Hannah collapses after the first performance, the Happy Huffkin comes under scrutiny, and Cara must unmask a cunning murderer lurking in the wings. Has a family feud that’s been running for over a hundred years finally got out of hand?
A contemporary Downton Abbey meets Agatha Christie – with a splash of Bridgerton! This charming English cosy mystery series, full of engaging, eccentric characters and packed with red-herrings, is perfect for armchair sleuths.
An appealing cast of charismatic characters adds interest to this thorny mystery
