It's 15 April 1900, Easter Sunday, and Paris is the centre of world attention as millions of visitors arrive for the opening this weekend of the International Exposition. Amongst them is an elite but diverse group of individuals staying at the Hotel Paradiso. As they gather for dinner, however, the peace of the hotel is rocked by an explosion. Billy Bonka, the foremost chocolate manufacturer in America, is found dead in his room, having apparently been killed by an exploding Easter Egg. Suspicion falls on the people around this table.
We got together with the Jamons on Saturday for a Mystery murder night. The evening was hosted by Clare and Craig and held at Valle's and Dave's. We received our invites a while ago, however as always Costa and I left it to last minute to find costumes. We ran around Hove on Saturday morning trying to find something to wear. My character was Dr Doris Johnson, an archaeologist specializing in the Aztec culture, I was regarded as being eccentric even in a field populated by eccentrics and Costa's character was Little Fitz - The most sensational cabaret star of the day, he shares his ventriloquist act with his dummy Ziggy. We had an awesome night with lovely Mexican food (probably not what they ate in Paris on Easter year 1900, however very tasty), good friends, laugther, drinks and a mystery to solve.
Little Fitz, Chocolat Bertrand, Dame Barbara Carthorse, Maria Von Schnapps, Dr Sigmund Fraud, Mike Bison, Marchioness Duchamp and Dr Doris Johnson.
I will add some more pictures from the Myster murder night later.
