The Case
Yorkshire, England — Christmas Eve, 1927.
Lady Marguerite Ashford has gathered eight guests at her grand manor house for the annual Christmas Eve dinner. Snow falls steadily outside. Champagne flows. The mood is festive — until Lady Ashford makes a shocking announcement: she intends to donate the legendary Ashford Star, a 40-carat diamond necklace worth £50,000, to a museum.
An hour later, the necklace is gone. The safe stands open. And a fierce blizzard has made the roads impassable.
Everyone is trapped. Everyone is a suspect. And you are the detective.
Examine police reports, witness statements, and physical evidence. Study the suspects. Spot the lies. Follow the clues to unmask the thief before they can escape.
