Murder Mystery!!

If you enjoy cozy mysteries, mark your calendar for Wednesday, September 18 at 6:30 p.m.  The Windsor Locks Public Library will present its fourth interactive murder mystery film, Maybe She Had It Coming, starring the Out-of-Print Players, a group of good-natured (and sometimes even talented!) staff, volunteers, and library users.  Maybe She Had It Coming is set in the fictional Onion River Public Library in rural Vermont, an area steeped in Revolutionary War history. Opal Longfellow, the victim, is a retired academic library director who has returned to her hometown of Onion River after years in the midwest.  Her volunteer work at the Onion River Library has resulted in resentment and fear among the library's staff as she freely shares her many criticisms and attempts to influence library decision-makers.  Who hated and feared Opal enough to murder her?  Is someone trying to frame Reference Librarian Gordon Elliott or did he cleverly engineer her murder to make himself look like a victim?  We need your help in solving this murder!   Come prepared to watch the videos, evaluate the clues, and come to your own conclusions about who committed this heinous and cowardly crime.  The program will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 18 at Windsor Locks Public Library, 28 Main Street.  Please register at www.windsorlockslibrary.org or call 860-627-1495 to reserve your seat.  And don't forget your deerstalker and magnifying glass!  There will be refreshments and a prize drawn from all of those who correctly identify the murderer.
