Play the part of suspect and detective as you and your team discover who committed the crime. By evening's end, the killer will be revealed from your pool of suspects, including your fellow guests. R

This immersive experience will be led by fully costumed hosts from The Murder Mystery Co. Costumes are encouraged, but must be library appropriate and kid-friendly. Additional props and some costume pieces will be provided. This program is a part of One Book, One Community.

The theme of this murder mystery is "Til Death Do Us Part: All is Fair in Love and Murder." This theme is rated PG-13.

The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, but the wedding bells aren’t ringing for this not-so-happy couple when a member of the wedding party is murdered! With a raging bridezilla and an unenthused groom on the scene, it may be happily never after in this nuptial nightmare. Trade clues with your guests and help the hapless couple figure out whodunnit so they can say I do before the wedding hour passes them by! The bride and groom aren’t picky, so you can wear just about whatever you’d like. In fact, we encourage you to wear your own wedding dress or the most ridiculous wedding attire you can come up with. It’ll make their special day that much more special, so long as they actually get the chance to walk down the aisle!

While the program starts at 6:30 PM, we will open the doors early for this program at 5:30 PM. This additional hour is for mingling with other attendees and the performers. Character roles are limited, and optional. There are 14 available character roles. These roles will be assigned first come, first served, starting at 5:30 PM. If you would like to take on a character role, please plan to arrive early to get into character and receive instructions from the performers. Participants who do not want to take on a character role will be split into teams to try and solve "whodunit."

Light refreshments will be provided at the program.
