A murder mystery weekend is meant to be fiction. At Spencer Hall, it’s about to become very real . . .
When the actor playing the Butler disappears mid-performance - just days after his predecessor died in a freak accident - the cast start whispering about a curse on the role: The Butler’s Curse.
Luckily, The Pie & Mash Detective Agency are on the scene.
With suspicious actors, clues that don’t add up, and dark secrets emerging from backstage, Jane Pye and Simon Mash can’t ignore that the show is going off script.
Trapped in a crumbling country house, the detectives must work together to sneak behind the curtain and untangle fact from fantasy – without unravelling their partnership along the way.
Will they crack the case of the 'curse'? Finish the murder mystery they paid several hundred pounds to play? And possibly even . . . solve their first murder?
