Murder Mystery Crime Reports

What the papers say about us!

"We spent all Saturday and Sunday morning interviewing the suspects in turn, a process I found progressively unnerving. I even felt sorry for these poor people being grilled so relentlessly. It became much more than a game; it was an entertaining exercise in logical analysis. At every meal for two days we spoke of nothing else but The Case... The whole thing is professional, light-hearted but instructive and stimulating."

(Brian Masters writing about his murder weekend at Audleys Wood Hotel, Hampshire - Evening Standard)

"People are fascinated by murders and mysteries. There is a bit of the detective and the Nosy Parker in all of us."

"Look for a motive. It's in history, in the background. Remember 90% of murders are committed by people who are related or connected by close ties. There are four motives for murder: greed, sex, jealousy, money."

"...she admitted that of all the mystery weekends she had attended, this had been the most cerebral, the one closest to the real thing."

(Paul Betts, Travel Editor in the Sunday Financial Times)

"Murder Weekends at Nailcote Hall are run by genuine ex-policemen - all of whom had attained senior rank and who have reconstructed the cases based on actual events in their careers. In investigating the 'murder', guests learn the skills that police use in actual enquiries to separate genuine clues from misleading 'false trails' - and those taking part have every opportunity to practice these techniques when interviewing suspects or examining physical evidence"

(The Birmingham Post)

"Forget meditation, the theatre or getting hammered down the local, there's nothing like committing murder on a Friday night to help you wind down.."

"This company is something a little bit different. There are no Miss-Scarlet-in-the-kitchen-with-the-rope scenarios at their murder mysteries. Instead there are real police on the scene, as well as a real pathologist and very real mock-ups."

(Liz Burcher in South Warwickshire's Focus Magazine)

"Our scenarios aren't Agatha Christie-like plots set in Victorian mansions with a touch of melodrama. We have used our police experience to recreate authentic modern-day murder investigations".  

(Sunday Mercury)

"The suspects are not actors, but volunteers who agree to subject themselves to a range of amateur grilling in return for a weekend away." 

(Hotel)

"A killer weekend Whodunnit Break, is a Crime Cracker, you're caught up in a police murder investigation and web of sex, drugs, lies, and blackmail, it made for a cracking good time."

(Travel page, The Sun newspaper)
