An Original Enigmatic Spectacle Mystery

A classic mystery based on the board game! Dr. Black, the famous food critic, was set to host his own retirement dinner this evening, but instead he was found dead. With the colourful suspects still in the restaurant, it seems obvious that someone intended to cook the critic’s goose! Cornered by a suspicious sergeant and investigative guests, the suspects are caught between the frying pan and the fire.
