We need a 30-40 minute murder mystery for a church fund raiser...most I am finding are 90+ minutes plus.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brian

Because the Lazy Bee Scripts search engine offers a fixed series of time intervals, this http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/cgi-bin/Search_Results.asp?iMT=30&iXT=45&iAR=4&iC%287%29=1 - list of whodunnits covers the range of 30 to 45 minutes, so some of the entries exceed your upper limit slightly.
Read the scripts on line to check suitability (at least one is written in querky British English and may not make any sense to your audience!)

DAMNATION! is a one-act mystery running approximately 60-65 minutes. It focuses on a dying private eye who makes a pact with the devil in order to learn the truth about a cold case murder. There is one simple set, and the cast of characters comprises of 3 male roles and 3 female roles. One male role is a non-speaking part. For a copy to read, please email lindastockham@netzero.net. The play had its premiere production in a black box venue at California State University San Bernardino and was published thereafter by Aran Press. However, Aran Press is no longer in business and the playwright took back the rights. No royalties for educational institutions, theatre labs, church organizations, and community theatres.
