A Talent For Murder

Synopsis

From the publisher's website:

The legendary Claudette Colbert starred on Broadway in this suspense drama about an internationally successful mystery novelist whose relatives wouldn't mind killing her to get their hands on her art collection.

Other characters include a live in doctor who was once the novelist's lover and a savvy Indian butler who uses words like "chutzpa."

The badinage between the novelist and the butler and between the novelist and the doctor provides comic delight and relief from the mayhem being planned by the family.

This exciting comic thriller was produced on BBC TV starring Angela Lansbury and Sir Lawrence Olivier.

Fans of 'Murder, She Wrote' will enjoy A Talent for Murder, a merry murder mystery that is perfect for summer stock, dinner theatres and community theatres.

"One of the most delightful Broadway entries ever....

Winner of an Edgar Award [and] ... good theater [with] ... lively repartee."
