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?

London, 1951. They are invited to the testament of Edward, the 13th Lord of Facelift, who died mysteriously a week ago. His lordship came from a impoverished nobility family, but had earned a fortune as a cosmetic surgeon. Above all, his reputation to be extremely discreet has given him many rich customers from the Upper Class.

The facelift family is currently not a good star. Because like the Lord, his heirs also have a lot to hide.
