Murder in Act Three: a 1930s 'Reverend Shaw' Golden Age-style mystery thriller

February, 1932: the highly unpopular Joan Hexham, 'the spider at the centre of a web of village gossip', is killed on stage during an amateur performance of Hamlet.

An accident, surely. Nobody would be brazen enough to commit murder in full view of fifty witnesses in Lower Addenham village hall - or would they?

The local vicar, Reverend Lucian Shaw, is asked by the police to lend moral support to the villagers during their investigation. He soon finds he must do much more than that when it becomes clear that Mrs Hexham's death was no accident - and that her killer is about to strike again.

This 1930s Golden Age style murder mystery featuring the likeable clerical sleuth Lucian Shaw will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers and GK Chesterton's 'Father Brown' series.
