World Premiere #74: a comic murder mystery from the Central Works Writers Workshop

The Victorian Lady Detectives return in a hilarious murder mystery. Just as the Lady Detectives have accepted a new murder case, a dead body turns up in the parlor of the Hunter Lodging House. And the evidence points to Victorian Lady Detective Katie Smalls herself as the prime suspect. The trail of clues leads our intrepid detectives into a murderous web of anarchists and religious fanatics in their most daring caper yet!
