'There's No Murder Like Show Murder' by M. S. Greene.
The title was what first drew me to this book, I love a murder mystery and a good pun. So thumbs up there.
I loved that the book was set in a theatre and it included all the stuff that happens behind the scenes from costumes to props. And I loved Hilly the theatre cat, I wish they would of been in it more.
Overall I enjoyed the book, I guessed the wrong murderer a few times through the book so that is always a good sign of a mystery. I would recommend this to fans of cosy crime. It's a quick and easy read.
Thankyou to NetGallery UK, the author and the publishers for letting me read a copy in return for an honest review.

“There’s No Murder Like Show Murder” is a very charming quick read that any #theatrekid will appreciate. You rarely see books set in this world. If you love theatre and are looking for a nice cozy read, try this book! Even though I the setting drew me in, it took me a minute to get into it. Hence, the star rating.

Five stars. Five stars. A more coherent review to come in the future, but I'd definitely recommend this one.

I love Cozy Mysteries. They are nice to read after reading an intense novel. This one didnt dissapoint.

I loved that the main character is a costume Manager as i have grandkids and they love costumes. So def made me smile on this aspect.

Def had me guessing, that is what makes a great novel to me. One thing the characters have to remember is usually animals have the instinct on people whether they are good and bad. That feeling should never be avoided.

Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.

I had trouble downloading this to a device I could read comfortably on. I'm glad I found a way to do so. This book was fun, and a fast read. I really enjoyed it and would most definitely read more by M.S. Greene.

"There's No Murder Like Show Murder" by M.S. Greene is a great new cozy mystery that could be a standalone or the start to a new theatre tech themed series. Having a BFA in Costume Production, I particularly enjoyed this story. The main character is a costume shop manager. I have done that role and can commiserate with some of the challenges the character is faced with some major last minute wardrobe changes.

The mystery part had me jumping between suspects up until the last 10% of the book. Rule of thumb, always trust the animal sidekick and if someone is too invested in what you're finding out they might be the killer.

This talented author has written a page turner. Realistic characters keep the story moving quickly. Mystery and intrigue. Family and friends. Secrets and red herrings…even the title is intriguing. This is a fun book. Thanks Netgalley.

This murder mystery was a fun and anticipating read as I read it in one day. I couldn’t put the ebook down as I easterly awaited the next chapter and the outcome. This was my first book by this author and I’m pleased to find out I will be reading other books by them. The pacing was great and the story wrapped up perfectly. My younger Nancy Drew self so happy right now.



Thankful to the publisher for providing an e-ARC via NetGalley.

#TheresNoMurderLikeShowMurder is a first in a new series that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Tasha Weaver is the head of Costumes at the Eastbrook Playhouse, located in Connecticut.
The designers and actors are preparing for the debut of Annie Get Your Gun, featuring Kurt Mozer.
The playhouse needs this production to be a hit, otherwise the building may be in danger of being sold, and the new plans don't appeal to everyone.
When Kurt is killed and another actor is threatened, Tasha digs in her heels and is determined to find the truth, even if it puts those she cares about on the suspect list.

I really liked the characters in this book and the story was well written and kept me guessing until the end.
I'm looking forward to reading more in this series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of the book.
