Murder at the Theatre Royale
by Ada Moncrieff
In 1935, a few days before Christmas, a production of A Christmas Carol has come to London's Theatre Royale. When one of the cast members dies on stage, journalist Daphne King finds herself in the middle of an investigation. However things take another turn when someone else is found dead backstage.
I cannot resist a festive mystery and this made for such a fun read.
Daphne was such a great character that I took an instant liking to and I enjoyed seeing how she handled the investigation. The story itself was very well paced and kept me engaged throughout. I particularly loved how you are thrown straight into the drama. The 1930s London setting was such a perfect fit for the story, of course there were no phones or technology at that time and it allows the reader to just focus on the mystery unfolding.
I highly recommend this wonderfully entertaining book.
