A second witty fun 1970s-set whodunnit in the Lowe and Le Breton mysteries series featuring
two ageing actors attempting to solve a murder after their famous co-star is found dead in a
doorway outside the theatre in which they?re performing. Nostalgic cosy crime that?s perfect
for fans of The Thursday Murder Club and Death & Croissants. In between filming seasons of
Floggit and Leggit! ageing actors Edward Lowe and John Le Breton sign up for short run at the
Leeds Playhouse lured by the promise that the play will transfer to the Stadsschouwburg ? the
Amsterdam Playhouse. Once in Leeds they discover they have been invited to join for two
reasons ? because the company manager is keen to take advantage of the publicity surrounding
Floggit and Leggit! (now a massive hit) and because Sir Nathaniel Thompson the much-lauded
star of the show and knight of the realm has been sacked for drunkenness and failing to turn
up for work. John fears an awkward scene should Thompson ? who he knew during the war ?
return to reclaim his job but when Thompson?s body is found bludgeoned to death in a nearby
alleyway this ceases to be an issue. Once more the elderly thespian sleuths decide to
investigate.
