The Strangling on the Stage

Listed in the Theater category on Art In Fiction, The Strangling on the Stage (2014) by Simon Brett is the author’s fifteenth Fethering Village Mystery .   When Jude agrees to lend her vintage chaise longue for the local Amateur Dramatics Society's production of George Bernard Shaw's  The Devil's Disciple , little does she realize she'll end up in a starring role. It's an ambitious play, culminating in a dramatic execution scene: a scene that's played for real when one of the leading actors is found hanging from the specially constructed stage gallows during rehearsals.    A tragic accident - or something more sinister? Carole and Jude make it their business to find out. “Brett's chatty and totally enjoyable 15th series entry is a breezy diversion, perfect for readers who enjoy British comic mysteries” ― Library Journal Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before taking up writing full time. As well as the much-loved Fethering  series, the Mrs Pargeter novels and the Charles Paris detective series, he has written a number of radio and television scripts.
