"...They say Broadway is a graveyard of hopes and dreams, but someone's adding corpses to its tombs...Mr. and Mrs. North live as quiet a life as a couple can amidst the bustle of New York City. For Jerry, a publisher, and Pamela, a homemaker, the only threat to their domestic equilibrium comes in the form of Mrs. North's relentless efforts as an amateur sleuth, which repeatedly find the duo investigating murders and sundry other crimes. So when the wealthy backer of a play is found dead in the seats of the West 45th Street Theatre, the Norths aren't far behind, led by Pam's customary flair for murders that turn eccentric and, yes, humorous. Alongside Lieutenant William Weigand of the New York Police Department, they'll employ illogical logic and bizarrely tangential suggestions to draw the curtains on a killer. A light mystery set in a classic Broadway locale, Death on the Aisle is lent verisimilitude by author Richard Lockridge's career as a theater critic. Though it is the fourth novel in the saga of this charming, witty couple, the series can be enjoyed in any order, with each installment depicting its own self-contained story..."--Amazon.com… (altro)

1942 novel featuring amateur sleuths Pam and Jerry North, and their friend, Manhattan homicide detective Bill Weigand. On the brink of running off to marry his lady love, Dorian Hunt, Weigand gets called to the scene of a peculiar murder. The backer of an off-Broadway play has been stabbed with an ice pick while watching a rehearsal, a week before the show is to open. The cast and crew has been coming and going...any one of 15 or more people may have had opportunity. Sgt. Mullins is bewildered as ever, Pam keeps Jerry and Bill running their hands through their hair at her non-sequiturs and quirky pronouncements, and the elusive murderer isn't stopping at just one. Fun as usual, but no cat shenanigans. ( )

This one had an oddly familiar vibe to it, although I'm quite sure I didn't read it before and forget to log it. I may have read something that discussed the book or maybe I just read the first few chapters that were added to the previous book in the series. Not sure.

Basically, a guy gets murdered in a darkened theatre during rehearsal and everyone who was offstage at one point is a suspect. And Mr and Mrs North just happened to be there, naturally. I guessed the murderer, but thought I hadn't for a while because of a very misleading paragraph that had me all confused. Frankly, the last few chapters were a bit of a muddle although I got things sorted by the end. ( )

Mr. and Mrs. North are attending rehearsals for a Broadway play, and the rehearsal ends with murder. One of the play's backers is found dead in his seat, stabbed in the neck with an ice pick. It's fortunate that the Norths are on the scene, because Lieutenant Wiegland can use them as a sounding board to help him solve the crime, as they have done three times previously.

I ended up not finishing this book. The theatre setting was supposed to be a draw for me, but I rapidly lost interest in whodunnit. The tone was much too light for my tastes, with lots of would-be sparkling dialogue, and there were too many characters to keep track of. I personally am also finding amateur sleuths harder to suspend disbelief for these days, so the presence of Mr. and Mrs. North was more irritating than charming. And while I do realize that this series is probably of its time, there was some shocking fat shaming that was probably the main factor causing me to sour on this book. I don't think I'd recommend this book. ( )
