Make time for murder The opportunity has arisen for people in West Devon to participate in some armchair sleuthing in the company of the Belstone Players whose members will be attempting to solve the mystery of the murder in Brandling Hall when they tackle ‘Dame Agatha's Greatest Case'. In the comfort of Belstone Village Hall on Friday and Saturday, 18th and 19 th January, from 7.30p.m. the players will transport their visitors to a jolly weekend party at Brandling Hall to expose the dark secrets of guests there and uncover wicked plans that are afoot. How will Inspector Corner, of the Yard, manage this unruly bunch of upper class blue-blooded Brits and social climbers and why is Humphrey Yewtern, the prominent politician, talking to Ronnie Bigg and Barry the Hatchet, members of the criminal underworld? When murder occurs, can Dame Agatha Crustie, world-famous amateur sleuth, really be the only one able to solve this case? To find the answers and see the super sleuth in action, just call Marion and Chris Walpole on 01837 840498 and confess to not yet having a ticket.
