“Members of the newly renovated Meadowbrook Health Resort are dropping like flies, including famed chef Edith Chiles! On the eve of the grand re-opening, this is not the best advertisement! It’s up to John Stone, the manager, to find the cause and the murderer. Delightfully sarcastic and cynical, it is a pun-filled, comedic mystery.” – Source: FCT For showtimes, tickets, and pricing, see the link above.
