Murder By The Book

The Rockingham Free Public Library, in collaboration with Main Street Arts, invites the community to a hilarious evening of mystery and murder with a production of “Murder by the Book”, a play written by Louise Teasdale and sponsored by mystery author Louise Penny. 

The town of Two Spruce is about to lose their beloved library. A team of volunteer actors come to its financial rescue by staging a murder mystery fundraiser. But on opening night a real murder most foul threatens to thwart their theatrical aspirations. Lucy the Librarian and a team of quirky volunteer actors and library lovers scramble to solve the crime before the curtain rises and the library is lost forever.
