What is The Case of the Curiously Quiet Theater

As a member of the SHhhh, We're Reading Book Club in Hincksville, you've been patiently awaiting your turn to read the advance copy of the highly anticipated new Ells and Ernie mystery, when Mr. Hincks gives you the terrible news that the book was lost to the library. Never fear, though, Mr. Hincks has a solution!

Mr. Hincks has recorded an abridged audio version of the book and put together a box of peculiar reference materials in order to recreate the story for you before the book club meeting. But remember: the first rule of book club is, NO SPOILERS! Mr. Hincks will have to use a few puzzling tricks in order to recap this mystery book for you without spoiling any of the twists.

In The Case of the Curiously Quiet Theater, Ells and Ernie find themselves embroiled in a mystery amidst special effects, costumes, and shady characters. While attending the hottest play in town, Ells and Ernie discover that someone is interfering with the production in a most nefarious way. The detective duo will need to utilize all their skills to pull back the curtain and discover the truth behind the strange occurrences happening behind the scenes. Ells and Ernie are no strangers to mystery, but this time they’re up against a pool of suspects who are all classically trained actors and any lie is going to sound convincing.

Can you unlock all the audio clips before the SHhhh, We're Reading Book Club meeting? What are these mysterious markups on the reference pages?? Why is a lack of noise at a theater curious???
