But, once in Lancashire, they discover they have been invited to join the theatre’s repertory company for two reasons – because the company manager is keen to take advantage of the publicity surrounding their successful BBC comedy series, and because Sir Nathaniel Thompson, the much-lauded star of the show and knight of the realm, has been sacked for drunkenness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n John fears an awkward scene, should Thompson – who he knew during the war – return to reclaim his job, but when the great actor’s body is found, bludgeoned to death in a nearby alleyway, the unlikely crime-solving duo find themselves investigating another fiendish mystery that takes them from the northwest of England to the Netherlands, and which, rather inconveniently, seems to have John’s ex-wife Sally at its heart.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Death at the Playhouses is the second in The Lowe and Le Breton Mysteries series.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46661150539934,"sku":"HPC-9781803368221","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781803368221.jpg?v=1775013604","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781803368221","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
