Who Murdered the Farmer?

Red sky at night, farmers delight.
But red sky in the morning... and death comes a-calling!

The year is 1954 and world-famous murder mystery writer Agnes Dalrimple has been invited to present a talk on her work at the tiny rural village of Milton Tweedings. To assist with her presentation, the local drama group have been tasked with acting out her latest play, a comic whodunit named Murder Most Fowl!. This piece, set out on a remote farm in the fictional district of Scarsdale, centers around the brutal murder of local farmer Amos Ramsbottom. 

Amos is found stabbed, hung up by his feet inside a rickety barn which doubles as a chicken coop. But who would want to consign poor Amos to that great farmyard in the sky? Could it be...Constance, his discontented wife? His son Tom, of whom so much is expected yet who is struggling to fill his fathers Wellingtons!?
Local butcher, Burt Lard, owner of the thriving business, Lards Larder? Veteran detective, Miss Mabel Nippitt, has her work cut out seeking out those chicken nuggets of truth in her bid to sort out the wheat from the chaff, as have the audience! It is time to crack a few eggs...!!
