“Death Gets In The Act”

A Lt. Reilly Mystery Set In 1942

At Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island, Michigan

October 10-12, 2008

 

                                       

Imagine the perfect setting for a vintage mystery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glimmering like a diamond on an island of brilliant green, Grand Hotel beckons

you to a bygone era of old world hospitality and charm. Back to a time of

horse-drawn carriages, High Tea, and croquet on an endless lawn. An era of

dining to chamber music and dancing the evening away. Here no automobiles

are permitted, no bridges connect to the island, nothing intrudes on the serenity

and natural beauty. . .

except when . . .

. . . it is 1942 and the world is at war.  Maintaining

morale, both at home and among the men and women in uniform

is a matter of high importance. As part of a respected talent agency

 

you are invited to  Grand Hotel for the organization of

   the first major USO show tour. As agents, performers, producers

and army brass look for talent, it becomes clear they should

be looking for something far more important. As you mingle with

famous people from the world of entertainment, stay alert. All is not

as it seems; dark forces are at work as murder replaces laughter and 'Death Gets In The Act.’

Make It a Special Weekend of Murder, Mystery and Fun

Team Up With Friends

 

Solving the crime at a Grand Hotel Murder Mystery Weekend is a team effort

using the talents and abilities of many sleuths

working together. You can arrange to

be on a team with specific other guests by calling

the Suspicious Acts Hotline at 586-463-9777 or

send an email to Suspicious Acts.

 

 

                                    PUT TOGETHER A VINTAGE ‘LOOK’

Vintage clothing is not required for this event, but if

you think it might be fun to put together an entire

costume, an entire weekend of 1940s style outfits, or

just add a vintage touch to your evening ensemble,

it may be easier than you think. Special note: Our mystery includes the world of the Allied military forces and, therefore, all uniforms of all branches of the military in the 1940s - as well as civilian fashions. We can help with tips and suggestions.

send an email to Suspicious Acts.

 

BE A 1940s CELEBRITY

 

Call the Suspicious Acts Hotline at 586-463-9777 and tell us who you would like to "be" during the Murder Mystery Weekend. Of course, only one person will be allowed to "be" a particular celebrity, so call early and reserve your "identity." Guests are free to do as little or as much research into the appearance, life, and personality of their chosen celebrity as they wish. Choose a personality from sports, music, politics, and literature . . . any personality from the 1940s, famous or notorious, is fair game (and we do include famous fictional characters, especially those drawn from the mystery genre). Think of the possibilities! Fred Astaire, Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Ernest Hemingway, Dashiell Hammett, Winston Churchill, just to name a few. We have a whole list of suggestions!

 

TO CONTACT US: For information and suggestions on team assignments, vintage attire, and celebrity identities, call the Suspicious Acts Hotline at 586-463-9777 or send an email, or, visit the cast, writers, and friends of Suspicious Acts (where you can ask questions about travel tips, vintage dress, teams, celebrity identities, detective strategies . . . ) at our  Discussion Group .
