Holmes at Halloween: M**der Mystery Night with Dinner

Having some experience with dogs of legend, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are now pitted against Norfolk's own flame-eyed Black Shuck, the great hound that haunts the wilds of Norfolk, bringing doom and disaster in his wake.

Viscount Ashbrook's nephew, Ernest Flower has had visions of death and of the fiery destruction of his family's home and heritage and he is petrified.

Having heard of Holmes’ successful solving of the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville and the subsequent threat to his heir, Sir Henry, from a legendary demonic hound on the Dartmoor moors, Ernest calls on him for help.

He begs him to aid him in his fight for the salvation of his family.

Who can be trusted? Will Shuck shake the foundations of the family home? Can you help? Will you pick the bones out of the case and help solve: 'A Black Tail of M**der'?
