It’s Murder, Dontcha Know
Based on the Novel by Jeanne Cooney
Adapted for the Stage by Mary Aalgaard
Brief Summary:
It’s Murder, Dontcha Know, based on the novel by Jeanne Cooney, is a quirky, cozy murder mystery set in the Northwest area of Minnesota where nothing much ever happens. Until, a robbery and a murder happen in the same week. Between bites of hotdish and wild game feeds, the rumors fly. Doris steps out of her quiet farm life and into crime solving mode when her children become prime suspects. With the help of the local law enforcement and her natural tendencies for gathering information, she digs into the lives of her friends and neighbors to find the real killer.
