What happened? Who would dream of killing such a noble and amiable gentleman? And who had the motive, the means and the opportunity? Or is it a case of mistaken identity? Who is the poor soul so shockingly attacked?

Join us in association with Torchlight Heritage and Torchlight Mysteries for a puzzling evening of curiosity, mystery and murder.
