Who killed Leversham?
It is the 1930s. The economic crisis is over. The British pound and the U.S. dollar are equally strong, and businesses are thriving.
The Balderdash family often hosts lavish dinners at their grand home. They serve the finest wines, delicious dishes, and provide entertainment after dinner.
Tonight, too, everything seemed perfect. The guests arrived on time, and dinner was ready. But just as the party began, the body of butler Leversham was found in the billiard room!
