How to Get Away with a Murder Mystery
by Don Zolidis
Highlights
Synopsis
Five mysterious color-coded guests.
A mansion.
A murder.
Can the killer get away with it?
And how will the sleuths bring them to justice?
A handy guide to escaping the law when one happens to be a prime suspect in a mysterious murder.
Told through vignettes in a style similar to 10 Ways To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse , this show hilariously skewers the tropes of the murder mystery: an airtight alibi, a long-winded monologue by a detective with an accent and even an impossibly complicated Rube Goldberg murder device.
