The Plot

The story is about a young couple, Mollie and Giles Ralston, who have started a hotel in the converted Monkswell Manor. They are snowed in together with four guests and an additional traveler, who ran his car into a snowdrift. Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives on skis to inform the group that he believes a murderer is on his way to the hotel.

When one of the guests – Mrs. Boyle – is killed, they realize that the murderer is already there. The suspicion falls first on Christopher Wren, an erratic young man who fits the description of the supposed murderer. However, it quickly transpires that the killer could be any one of the guests, or even the hosts themselves.

The Characters 

Mrs. Boyle (Tara Demmer) is an imposing woman in a bad temper; she complains about everything.

Miss Casewell (Christy Nix) is a young woman who is masculine in appearance and with a masculine voice who claims not to have lived in England for some years

 Major Metcalf (Kerry Foerster) is middle-aged, square-shouldered, and military in manner and bearing. He is friendly and very polite, and serves as a good counter to Mrs. Boyle.

Mr. Paravicini (Jim Bitney) is foreign, dark, and elderly with a small flamboyant mustache.

Giles Ralston (Ashley Ryan) is described as arrogant, attractive, and in his twenties. He has been married for one year to Mollie.

Mollie Ralston (Kjersten Johnson) is a pretty young woman in her 20s. She has been married for one year to Giles.

Detective Sergeant Trotter (Jason Fechner) is a cheerful, common-place young man who arrives at the guest house on skis.

Christopher Wren (Mark Bauer) is a wild-looking neurotic young man; his hair is untidy and long. Wren is also quick to confide and child-like.
