As winter settles over the Cotswolds, Dotty and her friends have costumes to sew, lines to memorise and rehearsals to juggle for their local amateur dramatics production. But a television director takes charge, replacing local performers and claiming a starring role for himself.
When he collapses during the performance, Dotty’s best friend, crime scene manager Keya Varma, initially thinks he died of natural causes until discoveries backstage suggest someone made sure this would be his last role.
Dotty and the cast are determined to give the village its Christmas show. Can she and Keya identify the real villain before the final curtain falls?
