The Last Train From Paris

The scene:

“It is June, 1940, aboard a train leaving Paris. the German troops are about to enter Paris. The roads south are a hopeless snarl; the trains are full and one cannot find space aboard them. Yet to remain in the city and see her brutalized by the Nazis will not be a pleasant thing. An anonymous letter arrives, offering  passage aboard a government train heading for the relative safety of Southern France. During the trip, murder is discovered and the passengers must decide who amongst them has committed the crime.”

We had a murder mystery dinner at our house on Friday with some couples from our neighborhood. Complete with costumes, suspects, good conversation, french music and delicious cuisine.

The Suspects:

Incidentally, the map on the wall behind me is in fact an old map of Paris.

Doug’s poses were seriously cracking me up.

We had a blast and all proved to be poor detectives as no one guessed the correct murderer. Apparently all my years of playing Clue have not paid off.
