The world's greatest detective is back in the fifth and final instalment in a brilliantly clever, funny, illustrated murder mystery series. Perfect for fans of Robin Stevens, Beth Lincoln and M.G. Leonard.
"Knives Out meets Poirot – but for kids!" Radio 4
Bonnie Montgomery is at the local theatre group rehearsal when playwright Cynthia Cecil collapses on stage. Natural causes? Perhaps, but the world’s finest detective – and Bonnie's alter-ego Montgomery Bonbon – heard a final, unscripted word with Cynthia's last breath: "Murder!"
The cast were either within sight or backstage with rock-solid alibis. As opening night approaches, can Bonbon untangle lines from the truth, and expose a killer clever enough to get away with murder in front of an audience?
