A mystery is waiting to be solved in
Romsey
The Abbot, a well-known local historian, had called a press briefing to announce a find, that in his words "would shock the world"! Sadly, before the briefing and highly anticipated reveal, smoke was seen billowing from his study. On investigation, the poor Abbot was found collapsed on the floor, with a whole stack of papers ablaze in the fireplace. Now, Chief Inspector Ima Stumped has only one question - who has benefitted from the Abbot's silence? She needs help from TOP Investigators to comb through the evidence, solve the Clues and figure out 'whodunnit'. Will YOU take on this critical case and unearth the truth?
