Death in the Spotlight

The theatrical setting adds such a lively atmosphere to the story. I'm curious if it was inspired by a specific play or real theater experience.

The way the characters' acting and dialogue seemed to hint at the mystery was clever. Did others catch details that pointed to the culprit early on?

Blending history with a fun, suspenseful story feels like a great way to engage young readers. I wonder what inspired the historical aspect of the setting.
