Murder at the Theatre Royale by Ada Moncrieff

4.0

This is a fun, cozy mystery with a likable main character, Daphne, who is sick of being an Agony Aunt for her newspaper job and instead wants to work on the crime side, and what better way to do that than solve the case of the murder at the Theatre Royale? There are lots of suspects in the cast of the production who you have to keep an eye on at all times and as each clue is revealed, Daphne gets one step closer to figuring it out. The ending brings it all together in one brilliant scene of confrontation to create a fast paced story that you won't want to put down! One negative is that the language used was a bit too excessive in parts as if the author was trying too hard to make it sound like the 1930s but overall it is a good murder mystery perfect for cold and dark nights.
