- When a classic locked room novel is turned into a West End musical, one of its stars falls victim to a real-life 'impossible crime'.
- The Mystery of the Yellow Room, based on a 19th-century story by Gaston Leroux, is currently thrilling London theatre audiences with its enticing blend of music, romance and sizzling Gothic melodrama. But events take a sinister turn one night when the show's glamorous singing sensation Juno Pirelli is found horribly stabbed inside a locked dressing room, from which no assailant could possibly have escaped. No weapon or any other evidence of an intruder can be found, nor any rational explanation for the victim's wounds. As the actress's life hangs in the balance, her producer and colleagues remain baffled. And attention once again turns to the lateral-thinking Jonathan Creek for a solution to the whole grisly puzzle. But can Creek - now a happily married man - even be persuaded to embark upon the investigation? As he and his wife Polly struggle to come to terms with a sudden personal tragedy, a series of dark and disturbing family secrets are about to emerge that will throw the couple's whole world into turmoil.—Anonymous
- Jonathan is now married to Polly, who has an accountancy business and they visit a West End Theatre where Polly hopes to add Zelda Niedlespascher, producer of the lavish musical, The Mystery of the Yellow Door, to her clientele. The show is beset by disasters, the culmination being the discovery of leading lady Juno Pirelli being stabbed but inside a locked room. Jonathan uses a little knowledge of art and the plot of the original book to work out what happened. At the same time he discovers that love letters sent to Polly's late mother are not what they seem and solves the mystery of Polly's friend Hazel's mother's vanished ashes. The sleuthing rubs off on Polly to work out why a desk in a house shared by her friend Sharon and Sharon's eager but inept criminology student son Ridley has also mysteriously changed position.—don @ minifie-1
