All relatives have spats at Christmas. However, for this particularly social climbing
family the unwelcome news that one of their own is in a relationship with a

random message in a Christmas card would have caused such offence?
Sparks fly and it is not long before our Inspector needs your help to solve a grisly
Christmas murder... Join us for a lively evening of intrigue and fun as your table tests
its detective skills to this most foul of festive events!
