JCAT Community Presents "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940"
Posted by Steven Kaiser on 04/23/2019 @ 09:38 AM
It’s not a musical, but it’s definitely a comedy!
May 7-19
By John Bishop, Directed by John Ferry
A large Westchester mansion with secret passages, a blizzard, a theatrical troupe and a homicidal maniac on the loose – what could possible go wrong?
This rip-roaring farce is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren't killed off) untangle the mystery of the "Stage Door Slasher." is sure to please all audiences.
"…enormous fun…Its strength comes in part from the sheer diamond wit and diamante showbiz glitter of Bishop's writing. Even his corn is succulently served." —NY Post.
"…Bishop gives us a nakedly silly and relentlessly convoluted murder-mystery plot, with twist piled on twist till you have to give way and start laughing at the silliness…it's hugely enjoyable." —Village Voice.
"MURDERS is the intelligent person's kind of nonsense." —NY Magazine.

A PASSOVER MYSTERY NOVEL
Posted by mysterylady86 on 04/08/2019 @ 05:08 PM
Passover is just around the corner and, how better to get into the Passover mood than to read Murder In Another Inn by Barbara Fox. The book is set in Miami Beach and deals with a murder that takes place during a Passover Seder. Sandy, the new owner of the inn, knows nothing about Passover but has to learn quickly because a local temple has booked the inn for their two seders. Sophie, the kosher caterer next door and Rabbi Josh the handsome young Rabbi introduce Sandy to the traditional foods and customs for Passover; the book includes several ofSophies recipes including a flourless chocolate cake. A mystery club and a book signing are scheduled for the same night as the seder and when a murder occurs, the police find that the victim had ties to all three events. The suspects include the caterer, the book publisher, a noted author and a few members of the congregation. A romance between Sandy's step-daughter (who may or may not be Jewish) and the rabbi takes up Sandy's time as she tried to solve the mystery. Murder In Another Inn is the third in the Murder In The Inn Series; it was just re-released as an ebook and is available from Barns and Noble and many other online book stores.
