The murderous dinner party is a crime dinner for home. An evening with friends, relatives and acquaintances. But the idyll is deceptive: a murderer sits at the table with them! Now it is important to expose the perpetrator. Dialogue scenes, hidden evidence, treacherous letters, shocking photos and secret documents help. And a voice that keeps further surprises ready. It won't be very simple, because each of the guests has a dark secret ...

What is this crime dinner about?

Great Britain 1972. The whole country is in turmoil: the Shah of Persia is a guest of the Queen. He visits the famous races of Ascot with her. For general horror, Prestige falls, the favorite of the main race. The queen is "not amused"! A little later, the jockey dies from the consequences of the accident. It quickly becomes clear that the horse was sprayed a substance shortly before the start caused the accident. Did the competition want to turn off the favorite? Or was someone targeting the jockey?

One thing is certain: only eight people come into question as perpetrators.
