Murder by the Book
by Robin Jennifer Miller

A creative writing retreat on an island. Sounds idyllic? Should be. But, when eight ill-assorted writers are cut off the mainland by a storm then frayed tempers, old jealousies and new resentments could possibly lead to…murder.
Murder By The Book by Robin Jennifer Miller, was a sell out success at the OSO Arts Centre in Barnes in November 2022. Audiences delighted in the drama and you can read some of the enhusiastic responses here:
‘What a treat! A gloriously entertaining locked room murder mystery… beautifully constructed, deliciously witty, wonderfully played. Such an entertaining evening. Congratulations, Rare Fortune.’ Gyles Brandreth
‘Excellent. An intriguing plot, quirky characters, incisive dialogue and laugh out loud comedy, so refreshing in a murder mystery.’ Tom J.
‘A thrilling night… went down a storm. Top notch plotting, acting and sound effects had us on the edge of our seats, and the thunderous applause at the end said it all.’ Sally S.
‘We were chattering all the way home about who and why and red herrings. So much fun.’ Elly Y.
