Join us for this star-studded cast of Librarians presenting a murder mystery. Four suspects will give interview statements and it's up to you to guess the who, where, when, and why of what happened!
Do you like a good mystery? Do you like to try to solve them before answers are revealed? Join us for The Darkest Evening: a Country House Mystery.
Ann Cleeves wrote this short role-playing mystery to celebrate the publication of her ninth Vera Stanhope book The Darkest Evening.
Vera is a BBC television series of the Vera Stanhope novels by Ann Cleeves.
