“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” — Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Read “Ghost Light,” for a little romance and mystery.
Our very own LeeAnne Hansen, who plays April in the comical murder mystery dinner show, Darling You Slay Me, in Riverside, Ca, is also a talented writer. Her new book on kindle, Ghost Light is now available on Amazon. Give it a go, rumor has it she’s as good a writer as she is an actress!
He always says it best…
Name the quote, get a free drink!
“There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Ana’s that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands’ necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.”
“The play is the thing.”
William Shakespeare said it best, but we’ve decided that actually a better description of our show’s experience is “to play is the thing.” At the Gourmet Detective it is up to the audience member to determine how involved they get in the story and the solving of the mystery. Both of our current murder mystery dinner shows playing in Orange County and Riverside, CA are interactive mysteries. That means, you solve it. By asking questions, investigating for behind the scene’s clues you can not just solve the mystery, but win the super sleuth award and win the opportunity to have your solution played out in the end.
