Agatha Christie Inspired Murder Mystery Kit | Murder in Little Summerton | 5-15 Players

Our story takes place on the 21st of June 1934 in the picture-postcard-perfect village of Little Summerton. Monty DeMille, a local-born Hollywood star, has recently returned to the village and is throwing open the doors of their newly renovated Summerton Hall for a magnificent summer party. But a serial killer has the village under a reign of terror. The ‘Summerton Slasher’ leaves indecipherable cryptograms beside their victims and favours unusual murder weapons. But even as the body count rises, the villagers seem to be more concerned with their petty squabbles, elusive buried treasure and divisive local issues such as the proposed new railway. As the villagers gather for the much-anticipated event, the simmering tensions are mounting and threaten to boil over.
