MURDER MYSTERY CHOICES

 Choose from these
available Murder Mystery storylines:The Case of the Missing Matchmaker
Darlene
Hickle
has
gone
missing.
The
fact
that
she
rarely
listened
to
what
anyone
told
her
did
nothing
to
improve her matchmaking business. Her success at miss-matching
people reached its greatest height when her computer database
crashed. Darlene saw no need to tell anyone of this.
Instead she randomly matched couples based on a printout she had of
their names and addresses. And now--- it has been discovered that
she has mysteriously disappeared. She recently had
her company heavily insured. Now the insurance company has sent a
private eye to investigate.
Is it murder or just a random match of broken hearts?  Murder on the GrillThe Fifties--�hula hoops, hot rods, black leather jackets. It was the birth of Rock-n-Roll and backyard cookouts. The setting for this mystery is the suburban home of Tom Dooley in Kansas City, Missouri. Tom, owner of local car dealership, Honest Tom's, and master of the charcoal grill, has invited his friends and neighbors over for a barbecue and Rock-n-Roll party. A sudden thundershower sends his guests rushing into the house while Tom stays behind to finish cooking the chicken. When the squall ends a short time later, Tom's guests return outdoors to find his lifeless body lying beside the barbecue and the chicken burning to a crisp. It is a case of cold-blooded murder over a hot grill and you may be a suspect. 
It�s
1948.
Tonight
we
have
gathered
together
at
the
Culinary
Institute
of
America to honor the
Institute�s Great Chef Alan Davies who is receiving the highest award in
the culinary world � The Edmond World Class Culinary Award.
Unfortunately we have just received news that he was murdered this
afternoon. Some of the people who are gathered have been invited; the others
have forced their way in.
 Fame, Money and Murder
It

crisp
November
evening
in
1950
at
the
Cooley
Ranch
located
just
outside
of
Grand
View, Texas in the western panhandle county of DeWitt. A
murder has just occurred during an intimate gathering of friends and
family to celebrate the release of Clyde Cooley�s newest hit, Crazy
�Cause I Love You, produced by Nashville legend Hank Curly Waters.
The victim is Clyde�s lovely and talented wife of six years, Kitty
Novak, a southern California girl who has starred in several Hollywood
films, including Detour and Shame on You. Everyone is a suspect!
