Merrydale is a small village. Nothing ever happens there.
A fundraising team of six villagers decide to hold a summer event of a Safari Supper. Selected houses hold different meal courses but Death visits one of the houses on the night of the supper.
More deaths follow. How are they connected and what do they have in common?
With the help of some of the villagers, the fundraising team decide to hold their own investigations as the police appear to be at a loss in finding any connection between the victims, who have died in completely different ways.
In the meantime there is a bail absconder who is hanging around the village. Is this person connected with the deaths?
The village sleuths need to find some answers before anyone else dies.
