Who dunnit?

Agatha Christie’s atmospheric ‘whodunit’ The Mousetrap will be at Buxton Opera House from Monday 2 to Saturday 7 November.

Famous for being the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre, The Mousetrap is legendary for keeping audiences guessing who committed the murder till the very last scene. ….. has been interviewing the suspects, have a read and guess who you think it is.

Whilst eight guests were snowed in at Monkswell Manor there’s been a murder, we’ve spoken to each of the suspects in turn to find out who the dangerous one is.

CHRISTOPHER WREN: I was alone in my room when the murder was committed. Everyone has had it in for me since the beginning, this is persecution! If it was anyone, I’d suspect Major Metcalf – seems perfectly nice and normal but you never know…

GILES: I married Mollie a year ago and I don’t like to talk about my life before that. When the body was discovered I was up in the bedroom trying to replace the broken telephone – I didn’t see Christopher Wren coming down the stairs from his room when I came down. There’s something odd about him and I know there’s something fishy going on between him and my wife…

MISS CASEWELL: I was alone writing a letter when the murder was committed. Anyway, I have to hurry off back to the continent after this snow clears up; I’m only here because I have some business to attend to…

MOLLIE: I inherited Monkswell Manor from my aunt, and rather than sell the beautiful house, I decided to turn it into a guest house. On a horrid, snowy night someone was killed – I didn’t hear anything; I was in the kitchen preparing vegetables with the wireless on. Maybe I would have been concentrating more if I hadn’t discovered that Giles had been lying about going to London earlier in the week. What else could he be lying about?

MR PARAVICINI: I was travelling out in the snow when my Rolls Royce broke down, the first place I came to was this charming guesthouse in the middle of nowhere – It was lucky they have space for me. Who am I and where have I come from? Not telling. I am a man of mystery…

MRS BOYLE: I told you that Christopher Wren’s credentials should have been checked when he booked in to the guesthouse; he looks like he’s escaped from a lunatic asylum! Now it’s too late.

SGT TROTTER: I was called to Monkswell Manor as there was a recent murder in London seems to be connected to this house and the events which happened at nearby Longridge Farm some time ago. Everyone was alone when the murder was committed tonight which means that everyone is a suspect in this case, even me…
