The first book in Lesley Cookman’s bestselling series featuring amateur sleuth Libby Sarjeant.
Artist and ex-actress Libby Sarjeant is busy directing a play for the opening of a new theatre in her village when one of her cast is found brutally murdered.
Written by her friend Peter, the play is based on real events from his family’s history, and it seems that these events still cast a long shadow. One dark enough to inspire murder. As the investigation into the murder begins to uncover a tangled web of relationships in the village, Libby gets herself involved in the investigations, determined to solve the murder and get her show on the road!
But is she too close to Peter’s family to be able to recognise the murderer?

The stories feature ex-actress Libby Sarjeant and are set in a small village in Kent.
'Delightful. The characters are quirky, the dialogue witty, and the plot revolves around the theatre. I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on the others. A hit for all you lovers of the traditional English cosy.’
