“One-Man Murder Mysteries” (for Adults)

#1—“The Deadly Dinner Party” (for Adults)

4 guests arrive out of curiosity to a creepy mansion per the invitation of a man they only know as “Mr. X”. For months these four guests have been receiving blackmail letters from “Mr. X” in which he claims he knows who they are and what they’ve done. They arrive at the mansion, and upon entering, they are greeted by Mr. X and very quickly they all realize they know his true identity. He reveals to them he will be reading the charges against each of them after dinner and turning them over to the FBI. Unfortunately, we never get to those charges being read, which leaves “Detective Dean” and his “Jr. Detectives” to figure out “whodunnit”!

#2—“Who Ran The Reverend Off?!?” (for Churches)

Detective Dean receives an anonymous letter from a concerned church member over the sudden resignation of well liked Reverend Tim. Many in the congregation are bothered by this and feel there was “foul fellowship” involved as some of the church leadership didn’t like the new Reverend who had only been there 10 months. Was it Deacon Dave, Secretary Sally, Choir Leader Connie, or Trustee Tom who finally led the Reverend to resign due to criticism and stress?!? Join Detective Dean as his congregation of “Jr. Detectives” and help him figure out “whodunnit”!
