Mystery in the Mine

A historical whodunit.

The year is 1889, and local leaders of industry and art meet for a summer celebration. Samuel Coykendall, who manages a transportation empire is looking to move into the lucrative cement industry. Along with his socialite wife Mary, Samuel will be your host. Their guests include celebrated Hudson River School painter Jervis McEntee and his companion Julia Dillion, an influential artist and business leader. You will also meet a college professor, the Coykendall’s loyal butler, and their fortune-hunting maid. The glitz and gaiety come to a halt when one of the party guests is murdered. Katherine Kerry, a local society columnist, is on the scene and she will ask you to help her solve the crime.
