A Cozy Death Book Club – December Meeting
📖 Enter a Murderer by Ngaio Marsh
🗓️ Sunday, Dec 28 | 🕑 2:00–3:00 PM PT | 📍 Zoom
A packed theatre, a live performance, and a prop gun that isn’t. On opening night of the play The Rat and the Beaver, the cast and audience are stunned when a stage murder turns lethally real. With the victim dead before the final curtain falls, Scotland Yard’s Inspector Roderick Alleyn—already in attendance—steps behind the scenes to find a killer hiding among the company.
Backstage feuds, jealous lovers, and professional rivalries mean everyone has something to conceal, and every alibi might be nothing more than another performance. This classic Golden Age mystery serves up theatrical glamour, sharp wit, and a tightly plotted puzzle where every costume, cue, and prop could be the key to the crime. Join us to sift through the clues, unmask the culprit, and revel in the drama behind the drama.
