If you’re addicted to true crime documentaries and find yourself reading thrillers and mystery novels until late in the night, then it’s time for you to put your money where your mouth is and solve a crime yourself.
Not a real one, of course! But you can attend a murder mystery dinner night and get the thrill of discovering the identity of a murderer without having to get your hands dirty.
We’ve tracked down some of the options around Australia for a theatre-style murder mystery dinner.
