Curtain Call for a Critic

Case 32 · Medium

Opening night at the Grand Pier Theatre had the whole pier buzzing like a beehive, for the new seaside musical was the talk of Gullhaven. Mr. Thackeray, a newspaper critic, had come to review it, and his dislike of tap dancing was famous. The show went on, but the review was never written. Mr. Thackeray was found dead in the Prop Store. Only one suspect was in the Prop Store, and that suspect did it.
