The Christmas rush is just about to start. It’s early December and Acme Decorations are getting into full swing. This small company had developed a niche market for its decorations and the product line was selling well.
However, one night in early December disaster had struck when the co- founder and Managing Director, one Jacob Marley, was found hanged from a beam in the factory. The rope had been decorated with tinsel and the body too had been decorated with more tinsel, hanging baubles and candles.
Who would have done such a thing, and why? As a small Company, the range of suspects was limited, and Inspector Bucket had gathered them together tonight at the Bedford Hotel in Tavistock to try and get to the bottom of this macabre mystery.
As the evening progresses, secrets are revealed, and tensions rise. Inspector Bucket calls on the other guests at the hotel to help in catching the culprit behind the bizarre crime committed by one or more of these eccentric suspects.
All the clues will be there to lead to the right conclusion, but will they be correctly deduced? Inspector Bucket is determined to get to the truth before the night is out!
