MURDER MYSTERY EVENT
Sunday, April 5th @ 4pm at Murphy's Taproom and Carriage House, Bedford, NH
The rustle of silks and feathers under muted conversation was probably the last thing heard by the tragically and unexpectedly deceased at the Billionaires’ Club Annual Masquerade Ball. With a mystery under each feathery facade, unmasking the killer may be quite a challenge.....
What To Expect …
The Amherst Junior Women's Club is excited to host Midnight at the Masquerade, a Murder Mystery Event. This evening of entertainment will be filled with suspense, humor and intrigue. Enter a world of clue-style mystery, where YOU solve the crime! Join the mystery company for three acts of sleuthing, secrecy and murder. The night includes "investigation time" to mingle with guests and the murder mystery actors. But beware - the culprit is hiding in plain sight, and you may find yourself the prime suspect before you know it!
100% of the event profits support the Amherst Junior Women's Club whose mission is helping local area charities, schools and those in need.
