Check-in for a most memorable stay at Monkswell Manor...
It's a freezing night in 1947 and a motley group of strangers find themselves suddenly trapped in an inn. As the snow falls, the body count rises - and the suspect list only seems to grow, as clues and possible motives are revealed at every turn. With intrigue, mystery, murder, and a dash of humor, this snowy getaway unfolds into a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
The cast of this sophisticated puzzler will include Brendan Dalton as Detective Sargent Trotter, Yvette Ganier as Mrs. Boyle, Christopher Geary as Christopher Wren, Sam Morales as Mollie Ralston, Jason O'Connell as Mr. Paravicini, Tobias Segal as Giles Ralston, Ali Skamangas as Miss Casewell, and Greg Stuhr as Major Metcalf.
