But Julia Bird wasn’t expecting the drama to include an onstage murder!At the end of Berrywick amateur theatre’s latest production, a shot rings out amongst the rapturous applause. When Julia Bird peeks through the curtain, she sees lead actor Graham is lying still on the stage, his co-star Oscar looking down at his prop gun in shock.

Who made sure this was the final act for a beloved family man?When Graham’s weeping wife Jane is later seen kissing another man, Julia wonders if her grief was the performance of a lifetime. Or perhaps it was failed actor Hector, jealous of Graham’s leading man status, who cut the applause short?Then another member of the crew is found dead and Julia discovers a dark secret at the heart of Berrywick’s local theatre society.
