Murder Mystery Dinner


This was the best dinner I have ever been to! My crazy family was brilliant playing the parts they were assigned...Call it luck, but I think there was some thought put into assigning who played each part! Mandy played the part of "The Black Cat's" girlfriend. She was so funny with her Spanish accent, we were all rolling! My mom played a cabaret singer that was androgynous....she was basically beautiful with a low voice. Scott played a crazy German that reminded me of Mad eyed Moody on Harry Potter, as Hitler. Camille was a Circus performer that was conducting the meeting. Dave and Emmy played the hosts of the dinner, and were also married as characters. ("The Grand Butte's"). Paul played Pierre a French poet. He was great because of the language he learned on his mission. Amy was the daughter of Dave and Emmy, and girlfriend of Paul. My dad played an amazing drunk. He was indifferent about everything and so funny. Jon was a booking agent in Paris for a night club. He was the "big businessman" that didn't care who he stepped on. I was an art dealer from Europe. I was a little too flirty, and um, should we say top heavy........I laughed all the way through dinner. At the end we found out the Jon and my mom killed "The Black Cat" together! It lasted about 3 hours. They served dinner while we played the game. I am so lucky to have such a fun family!!
