Murder Mystery Theme:
1920’s – Bye Bye Bluebird
It is 1928 and the summer vacation season is in full swing along Lake Ontario. Burgoyne Kemp and his wife Patience are thrilled with the number of visitors. They want to keep it going. Therefore, Burgoyne Kemp has expanded his Kempville Hotel’s entertainment. He convinced Band Leader Thomasina Dorsal to bring her orchestra, and air her famous radio show, Bones and Tones. The orchestra will debut their new theme song, Bye, Bye Bluebird.
As with all of his radios shows, Dorsal has a variety of acts to keep people entertained. Comedy duo Cabbot and Othello will perform. Movie Star April East will bring her flair. But just as things get started, famous actress Sarah Hartburn – about to make her grand entrance – is found dead.
It seems that Sarah Hartburn went for a walk on the beach last night. Various other guests and staff also were out there. When her body was found, there was an empty bottle of wine next to her. Police suspect she was poisoned. . .
Who murdered actress Sarah Hartburn?
Why did she leave the Kempville Hotel at night to walk along Lake Ontario? Was it hotelier Burgoyne Kemp, or his wife Patience? Actress April East? One of the members of the comic duo Cabbot and Othello? Singer Dutchess Ellington?
Travel among the 12 wineries and interview suspects and collect clues to solve the mystery!
