The Treadwater Estate has become the epicentre of a series of strange events. People go missing. Bodies are found – buried and wrapped in clingfilm. Yet there appears to be no connection between the victims and no motive for the crimes.

Inspired by the classic whodunits of Agatha Christie and Margaret Millar, but set in the best decade ever (the ’90s, that is), this brain-teaser of a mystery sees two amateur sleuths race to solve a young woman’s murder over the course of one clue-filled night.

It is this nagging question that triggers a memory in Claudette’s mind, which proves impossible to shake: the memory of a night she herself was working solo at The Burger Box, and had an unnerving encounter with a man she’d never seen before.
A man she now suspects might be a killer…
