Twin brothers John and George Danes call themselves \u2018The Generalists\u2019, and do all sorts of strange jobs for all kinds of peculiar people. They\u2019re about to set off to their next mysterious assignment at Idlewyld House (with no idea what job they\u2019ve been hired to do there) when a strange man knocks at their door. This stranger knows that John and George are on their way to Idlewyld House, but he won\u2019t say how he knows. When asked who he is, he says only, \u2018I am the murderer’, and then he disappears.<\/p>\n

Sophie says:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mystery of Mr. E had two sources of inspiration. One was Agatha Christie\u2019s The Mousetrap<\/em>, which made a huge impression on me when I first saw it. I came away buzzing and inspired, determined to write a Mousetrap<\/em> of my own. Minutes later, I had an idea I loved for what I thought of as an inverted murder mystery: a man, a stranger, turns up at the home of a detective and says only four words: I am the murderer. He then disappears without offering any clues to his identity, and the detective\u2019s job is to find the murder that \u2018goes with\u2019 that murderer.<\/p>\n

My second source of inspiration was a school play version of Romeo and Juliet<\/em> starring my daughter. The music and drama teachers had very sensibly decided to perk it up by turning it into a musical. It was absolutely brilliant, and it made me realise that the times I had been Definitely Not At All Bored at the theatre had all, without exception, contained either a baffling murder mystery or some brilliant, memorable songs.<\/p>\n

\u2018Wait\u2026\u2019 I thought. \u2018Why has no one ever written a murder mystery musical?\u2019 (It turned out they had: Murder For Two<\/em> by Kellen Blair and Joe Kinosian is a work of genius. But I didn\u2019t know about Murder For Two<\/em> at this point.) I decided my murderer-with-no-murder idea would be the perfect hook for a murder mystery musical and suggested it as a possible future school play to the drama and music teachers at my children\u2019s school. They loved the idea. So I set out to write a classic, family-friendly, puzzle-based murder mystery musical with lots of suspects and clues, and also with a lot of very catchy tunes.<\/p>\n

Soon this new musical, The Mystery of Mr. E<\/em> (words by me, and brilliant music by the aforementioned music teacher, Annette Armitage) was making appearances at schools and literary festivals all over the UK. One of the schools to stage it was St Michael\u2019s Catholic High School in Watford. Laura Turner, the Head of Drama who directed the show at St Michael\u2019s, asked me if it would be okay if her partner, a film director, filmed the production for posterity and the parents of those involved<\/span>. You can read all about how precisely that happened (an incredibly unlikely yet true story!) here<\/a><\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u2018I loved it! I\u2019m thinking it needs to be a tv series next. Very funny, brilliant cinematography, fantastic songs!\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018A warm, sunny feel-good murder \u2013 brilliant! Just what I needed on a fraught winter\u2019s night. Fab performances, and the lyrics were perfect.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Was properly ace! Loved every minute, all films should be this fun.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The songs blew me away.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Just joyous and lovely in every way.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018A really lovely film. The whole thing had a delightful quirkiness that reminded me of Roald Dahl.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018A pure delight…a compelling mystery.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
