Murder Takes the Stage

Phyllida Bright prefers the quiet of the country, but a deluge of deaths in her usually sleepy town has her ready for a respite in London. As housekeeper to Agatha Christie, Phyllida is no stranger to mystery, and now Christie is preparing to bring one of her stories to the stage. The production is threatened, however, when a madman begins murdering thespians in an alliterative alphabetical pattern. Phyllida knows that there must be more to the motive than what meets the eye, but can she uncover the truth before the curtain falls on her boss’s theatrical dreams? Cambridge (A Murder Most French) presents her fourth “Phyllida Bright Mystery” (following Murder by Invitation Only). Rich detail and a spectacular denouement give classic Christie vibes to this spirited story of ambition and intrigue. Narrator Jennifer M. Dixon returns to voice the likable leading lady and her sleuthing adventures. Her engaging performance is perfectly matched to the brilliant Phyllida Bright.
