What happens when an illustrious and celebrated duo of crime writers start to hate each other? Harold and Paul worked together for years. Paul, the idea-giver of the two, has a major alcohol problem, while Harold puts the ideas into books and markets them. When their shared path threatens to end, jealousy and tension rise and bring up the question:
Why not put the fictional murder blueprints to good use and end each other?
A witty thriller set against the backdrop of Harold’s luxurious villa on the Southern coast of England. It would be a shame to miss this web of deceit and suspicion when fictive plans turn into cold-blooded reality.
In 1992, MURDER BY MISADVENTURE premiered at the Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End and was greatly celebrated by critics and guests alike.
