Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, the world’s longest continuously running mystery, sees seven strangers stranded at Monkswell Manor during a blizzard. The unexpected arrival of a police sergeant, stating that a murderer-at-large is among the guests of the Manor sets the stage for intrigue. Before he can investigate however, one of the guests is killed, starting an investigation into the lives and histories of everyone there. One of them is the killer, and another one of them may be next. Will the police be able to solve the case before another murder occurs?

A heartwarming tale of family, community, and the enduring power of hope.
