Murder at the Theatre Royale is a gripping festive mystery set in the 1930s, where murder stalks a touring stage production of A Christmas Carol.

It's Christmas at London's Theatre Royale, and journalist Daphne King is determined to solve an extraordinary mystery...

December 1935. Director Monty Harrison's production of A Christmas Carol has faced a troubled run on its tour of regional theatres. With tensions amongst the cast running high, the company finally reaches their last stop at London's Theatre Royale.

Catastrophe strikes on opening night when Scrooge dies on stage, presumably the result of a heart attack. Yet, the show must go on. That is, until a leading theatre critic—and an old rival of Monty's—is killed backstage. Are those associated with the production being picked off one by one? Budding journalist Daphne King takes up the case...
