1. A Bullet In The Ballet
In this comedic murder mystery set in the world of ballet, a Russian ballet company is thrown into disarray when one of their dancers is shot dead during a performance. The eccentric and flamboyant cast of characters, including the temperamental prima ballerina and the company's autocratic impresario, become suspects in a case that is as much about the theatrics of the dance world as it is about the crime itself. A bumbling but endearing detective enters the scene, navigating the melodramatic and often absurd world of ballet to solve the murder, revealing the darkly humorous underbelly of a seemingly refined art form.
