Murder in Company
by Philip King and John Boland
In association with Samuel French Ltd
A dramatic society is assembling on the stage of a church hall to rehearse a production of a mystery-thriller.
The director’s wife Margaret is friendlier than is wise with the young man of the group, prompting the sleazy new caretaker to undertake a little blackmail. He appears to be known already, for some reason, by another of the members, Pheobe.There is also a “prowler” in the neighbourhood who attacks ladies, one of them being a group member, attacked on the way to rehearsal.
The rehearsal proceeds under difficulties until a mysterious death brings the situation of the whodunit even more closely into real life. It transpires that almost everyone might, and could have, committed the murder — eventually the identity of both killer and prowler is revealed.
