TO CATCH AN ACTRESS and Other Mystery Stories, is a new collection of short stories by Elizabeth Elwood, whose murder mystery play, Casting for Murder, produced in the year 2000, was based on the lead story in this anthology.
Elizabeth’s extensive background in theatre, opera, education, politics, and arts administration has resulted in this light-hearted and thoroughly entertaining series of ten mystery stories.
These ten lighthearted mystery stories feature Councillor Bertram Beary and his wife, who are reminiscent of Rumpole and his wife Hilda from the popular British television series, Rumpole of the Bailey. The classic murder mystery plots are reminiscent of Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen, and the charming, quirky Beary family make Elwood's stories enjoyable.
