The Missing Member of the Arthur Conan Doyle Fan Club

The Arthur Conan Doyle fan club is on tour in the charming village of Minstead and its surrounding area. However, what was supposed to be a fun coach tour turned into a mystery when one member, May Croft, never returned to the coach. The budding detectives headed out to solve the case, but sadly discovered her safe and sound along the beautiful bridleway. What's more, her disappearance was all part of a playful game! After further investigation, it's been revealed that May was the least popular member of the club, often taking centre stage and correcting her peers during their meetups. DCI Ellie Mentry has taken over the case from the amateur sleuths turned suspects. She needs help from top detectives to follow the trail of evidence through the scenic countryside to reveal the truth and the incriminating evidence left behind. Do YOU have what it takes?
