Popis kurzu

Do you want to be a part of murder investigation in the English countryside? Do you want to be immersed in a story in the best tradition of the English crime novels (Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, Dick Francis)? Do you want to start in a story similar to those of Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot or Midsomer Murders? Do you want to join the ranks of brilliant detectives? Can you trace down the killer? Do you want to go on a detective adventure and improve your English as you plot your tactics, negotiate and manage your project? Join us in the 19th century English countryside, search the body, visit the pathologist, interrogate witnesses, plot your theories – but most importantly relax and have fun!

The plot: John Arnheim was a partner in a prosperous bank; his net worth is estimated in millions of pounds. He had a loving wife, great colleagues and friends. He had been tremendously lucky with everything until…he was found dead at the party to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. The party takes place in his secluded country estate in Ramsey on the Isle of Man in the company of his business partners and family members.

Can you solve the murder mystery before the last ferry leave the shore?
