You're invited to Heathcliff Manor, where Lord Heathcliff is hosting a dinner party in honour of his new bride. All the usual suspects are here - the cook, the professor, the butler - as well as some unusual ones. But before anyone can toast his happiness, Lord Heathcliff is killed with the candlestick in the pool room. Host your own party to find out who snuffed out his candle.

Female suspects: EM FATALE: the victim's young, beautiful widow MRS WITHERING: the silent but deadly housekeeper MISTY VISIONS: a wild gypsy fortune-teller BLANCHE BATTERS: the cook with a mean left hook CINDERS: the pretty put-upon maid DEE MINOR: a world-famous concert violinist SIERRA TANGO: the only police constable in the village

Male suspects: BUTLER: the victim's butler INSPECTOR DENAUX: a French private detective PROFESSOR PEACOCK: an academic and "friend" of the victim REVEREND WILL BEEDONE: the local vicar DOCTOR FUMBLES: the village doctor GENERAL CUSTARD: an ex-Army General turned security specialist FORD ESCORT: the victim's chauffeur

This product may be suitable for ages 13 and up at parents' discretion, as it contains mild innuendo. The host can play, and no-one is "bolted on" - everyone's a suspect. The murderer is chosen on the night, so "no shows" are fine. The suspects have different stories if they're guilty, with important clues to help you solve whodunit.

The re-usable white box contains a "How to host" guide with rules and evidence, a pad of whodunit slips to choose the murderer, a question menu for seated dinner party-style games, and 14 character sheets with integrated question menus for buffet-style parties. 14 invitations with costume suggestions can also be used as place-settings, and audio evidence is available to download.
