The Play's the Thing
2 March 2019
Adrian Messenger pops in to see Shakespeare & Hathaway and he has a list. He wants Lu and Frank to get evidence if his wife is having an affair.

Adrian story lines role playing scenarios which are enacted at the weekends. His wife Maggie plays the Queen and she has fallen for the Duke, real life war hero Major Tony Suffolk.

Frank, Lu and Sebastian attend the activity disguised as various role players. Only to find out that Maggie does shoot the Duke with an arrow and another woman also gets injured.

A rather mixed bag, I am not sure the story achieved its aims. Maggie is shallow and is hard to sympathise with. The mystery then deepens to activities in Afghanistan as Major Suffolk's identity comes into scrutiny. The ending was rather messy.
