The Importance of Being Murdered

The BRAND NEW page-turning cozy mystery from Debbie Young, perfect for fans of Fiona Leitch, Faith Martin and Agatha Christie 🎭🩸🔍

ONE VILLAGE. TEN SUSPECTS. ONE DEADLY PERFORMANCE.

The curtain is about to rise on Bunbury’s biggest night – but moments before the show starts, leading man, celebrated actor Bertrand Manchester, is found dead.

When arts journalist Rebecca was roped into covering the Bunbury Players’ last production under beloved director Geoffrey Bunch, she expected a gentle human-interest story – not a front-row seat to murder. But as whispers spread through the dressing rooms and the village green, Rebecca senses her chance to catch a killer, clear her fellow thespians’ names, and finally make headlines of her own.

The trouble is, every member of the cast has something to hide – and the show isn’t over yet.

Can Rebecca uncover the truth before the final curtain falls... or will she take her last bow?
