Synopsis
"Mr. Monday, I want you to find this artifact," purrs sultry client Courtney Delecroix. "It's a choker worn by King Midas." Harry Monday sizes her up and asks, "You want me to find the Midas Muffler?" And once again, that cliché in a trenchcoat and fedora is off on another case, one which has him trying to solve a 20-year-old murder mystery and write a play about his career at the same time. Harry soon finds himself, as usual, way over his head as chaos swirls around him—a mousy little woman wants Harry to take on a case for her and then officer Brogan rushes in and arrests her; an actor starts masquerading as Harry; a janitor shows up at all the right (or wrong) times; and the curse of a missing gem appears. But our man Harry manages to wisecrack his way through yet another fast-paced, clue-strewn mystery.

Customer Reviews
Our audiences just LOVE Harry Monday. We do another of Pat Cook's comedies every season and have a "following" in our membership. Everyone should give these a try! These shows are so easy to adapt to any space or budget. We love them.
If you enjoy a game of "Clue" you'll love Monday Always Leads to Murder. It's smooth on the surface, but what a lively undercurrent!
[It] was a fantastic show, both to produce and to watch. My students greatly enjoyed the playÑand consequently found a new appreciation for the mystery/noir genre. The audience loved the story.
