MURDER AT THE MANOR HOTEL: Book Four

As the stage is set for a local village play in a beautiful countryside manor, Melissa Craig plays the role of detective once again when one of the cast is mysteriously murdered. She has been delighted to be asked to help put on a play at her favourite local Cotswolds hotel and there's nothing she loves better than getting to know the cast who are just as colourful behind the scenes as they are on stage. Rehearsals are going smoothly until the perpetually grumpy supporting actor is found spread-eagled at the bottom of a steep flight of stairs leading to a cellar. Why on earth was he trying to get down to the hotel's private cellar, and why does the hotel manager seem so angry about it? When the hotel floor plans deliver some unexpected revelations, Melissa is convinced that she's dealing with a murder. But when all of your suspects are actors, how can you tell the good liars from the bad and can Melissa find the killer before the final curtain falls? 250pp, paperback.
