Homicide at the Harrison House Murder Mystery Synopsis:
’Tis the season for Drew Beasley to host the annual bash at the Harrison House. Excitement is hanging thickly in the air as the VIPs of Pandora City gear up to mingle with friends, colleagues, and, of course, unavoidable foes.
Drew Beasley, the CFO of the Harrison House, firmly believes that building community spirit around the Harrison House is the only way to keep the historic bed and breakfast alive.
However, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the townspeople of Pandora City to remain harmonious in the same place for too long. Drew and the Harrison House staff have taken extreme measures this year to divert the guests’ attention away from one another and toward the party’s festivities. They have planned a delectable menu, fun party games, and, of course, spirited music for the guests to enjoy.
This might be their last shot at hosting a successful shindig, as the heir to the Harrison estate is growing tired of the way the Harrison House is being managed. Hopefully, the staff can prove that the annual bash is essential to the Harrison House’s ultimate success.
Without the yearly buzz as a reminder, the townspeople could forget about the Harrison House, even though it has been part of Pandora City for over 100 years. This is where your story begins.
