Murder on Board, M´lord!
An English DinnerKrimi with sporadic deaths

Every ten years, eccentric and patriotic Lord Reginald Bromstroke, retired Admiral of His Majesty’s Royal Navy, invites Sussex VIPs to celebrate the victory at the Battle of Trafalgar, in which his ancestor fought alongside Admiral Lord Nelson. This year‘s Royal Navy Dinner is also being held in  remembrance of his late wife, who was lost at sea ten years before.

In light of these special circumstances the admiral has promised family and guests an extraordinary surprise… but a murder is committed before he is able to announce it. Tracking down the murderer takes first priority, particularly since every guest seems to be somehow entangled in the mystery...

The dinner party guests are in dire straits by the time famous French detective Achille Pernod enters the crime scene. He discovers sinister connections, unearths possible motives, but desperately needs the audience´s help to solve the case.
