Murder in the Act — Elizabeth St. Clair

The Die Is Cast

The Poconos were beautiful in the summer -- lush greenery, peace and quiet, far away from The Big Apple's sweltering heat and hustling crowds. Marilyn Ambers couldn't have been happier. She was starting a new phase in her theatrical career -- directing her first play at a resort dinner theater. Rehearsals were going well and Marilyn was anticipating a successful opening night when the black curtain of death fell: Silas Bishop, the show's producer, was murdered!

Who would want Silas dead? Practically everyone who knew him -- and that included his wife, who was the star of the play. So with every actor a suspect, and every suspect with a motive and an alibi, Marilyn turns sleuth to solve the mystery and save the show -- before the killer makes her the final act.
