The Concert Hall Killer

Lights, camera, murder

In the Lake District, someone’s laying on a deadly welcome…

The cast and crew of a popular TV crime drama are shooting in the Lake District – but behind the scenes, relationships are as tense as on-screen. The director’s reputation proceeds him, the two lead stars are feuding and rumours swirl.

Meanwhile the locals are enjoying the filming – Amita Kahtri and her friends from Penrith Bingo Club are becoming social media stars with their behind the scenes pictures from filming – although her son-in-law, Jason is taking it all with a pinch of salt.

But when on-screen slaughter gets swapped for real-life murder at the concert hall where the TV drama is based, and the genuine police are as baffled as the TV detectives, it falls to the locals to search for the truth. It seems like a taste of fame can be deadly – but what happens when a killer’s plots are wilder than anything the writers can dream up?

What a quirky team!

I really enjoy the detective team of Jason the journalist and his mother-in-law, Amita. It's very clever and well done.

Good characters and story

The interaction of generations dealing with moving forward, working together and getting crime solved as individuals and groups.
Many funny setups.
Narration really makes this work!

Family matters

Enjoyed the twists and the sleuths. Well done! I look forward to the next story by this unlikely pair.
