The story: Timeshare Terror
You’re attending a presentation by Nirvana Holidays, ‘The Greatest Timeshare in the World’, showcasing their latest development on Spain’s Costa Lott.
Meet the founder, Ronnie Latham, and his wife Dolly, who has sent champagne to celebrate the launch. The accountant, Hugo Bust, enjoys the high life – but Ronnie is curious how he’s afforded a new sports car on his salary. Sales manager Ivor Target is running late due to a delayed flight.
Just as the presentation begins, an unhappy customer interrupts – she had invested her savings, hoping for a home, but only secured it for two weeks. While Ronnie tries to calm her, a murder occurs.
One of the people in the room is a killer – and it’s up to you to help the police solve the crime.
