Brevard County Libraries hosted a Murder Mystery Theatre last month. Each participant received a "kit" with a magnifying glass, notebook, pencil, the first chapter of the mystery, and the first clue. Each week, we were given the next chapter and 2 clues: one that had us hunt for an unusual location in the library, and then the second clue, in the unusual location, which was a clue to the mystery. Grace helped me find the clue every week. One of the librarians wrote this mystery, and even traveled to Colorado to a mystery writers' convention to get tips on how to add twists to the story; and also to collect our prizes.
On the night of the "big reveal", the librarians had all dressed in character and performed their own play. They were wonderful! Then we all "voted" for who we thought had "dunnit" and the librarians then acted out what really went down. I guessed correctly!
They pulled out of the box all of us who had "won" and then randomly drew our names. I won an autographed book called Death in a Mood Indigo by Francine Mathews.
It was such a cool thing for the library to do!
