8 roles
(Middle age)— Our hero. Librarian and reluctant stage manager turned reluctant sleuth. Sometimes it seems like she’s the only sane one in the bunch.
(Younger)- Challenger. Reformer. The janitor of the library. She’s harsh and intimidating.
(Middle age). The victim. Incredibly wealthy and sooo out of touch with ordinary people. Plus she’s a terrible actor.
(Older)- Fool. Aspiring playwright. She writes shoddy self-published novels. Maybe she never read a book in her life.
(Younger): Gold digger. Vain. Charmer & flatterer. He comes from lost wealth.
(Middle age): Cop (Officer Farthing). He is debilitatingly shy except when on the community theatre stage. He is the town’s best actor.
(Older): Caregiver/peacemaker. Retired teacher. Pollyanna. Making tea and rubbing shoulders. Reads aloud to the kids every Saturday.
(Older): A bit of a villain. Chair ‘man’ of the board of the library. She is so conservative; she doesn’t believe in changing the title to chairperson or woman.
