If you enjoy Agatha Christine's Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express, then you'll surely die for this show! In 1942, a junior homicide detective stumbles upon the murder of a famed mystery writer. Trapped in a mansion with several suspects, he finds himself outmatched by the cunning of the killer. His only hope in solving the case--his mystery loving mother, who is trapped in the mansion with him.
