Mystery Mavens: Gather The Suspects

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 09:56:14 -0500

Mansfield Mysteries is proud to present our first Mystery Maven, a show that knows a thing or two about solving a murder, Gather the Suspects!  Show Description: Gather The Suspects is a cosy murder mystery comedy set in Wales during a very boring apocalypse. Gather The Suspect takes the traditional locked-room murder mystery with its closed circle of suspects and gives it a makeover for the 21st century. Gone are the stately homes of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers, replaced with a fading apartment block in a near-future Wales. Mixing comedy, cosiness and a central mystery that keeps you guessing until the end Gather The Suspects is a playful take on a familiar genre. Episode Description: Serial procrastinator, Jack, always imagined that the end of the world would feature more Zombies or a cataclysmic nuclear event. He never expected the end of the world to be this… Well, boring!  Well, until his flat complex is thrown into turmoil by murder, that is. Told through the exasperated eyes of Jack's best friend Kara, join Wales' most unlikely private detectives.

Premieres December 8th! 

 

“Bon Voyage, Murder”, our Season Finale, occurs on a luxury yacht off the shores of Panama, chartered by none other than Rosemary Berkshire, who is throwing a party for Berkshire Bay’s renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Margosian. However, when word of a financial debacle spreads among the guests, the deal’s broker ends up floating in the ocean. Was he pushed, or did he slip? Dorinda joins forces with Rosemary’s head of security, Morton Anderlee, to fish out the killer. This unlikely pair makes waves with all aboard, including the deceased’s wife, the cagey captain, and the reputable doctor himself. Can they catch their prey, or will they fall prey to the white whale of Berkshire Bay?
