Put your detective skills to the test at the Royal Berkshire Archives in an evening full of murder and mystery. When an archivist is found murdered at the launch of our new exhibition ‘Agatha Christie: A Tribute to her Life and Work', it's up to you to follow the clues, question the suspects and piece together the evidence, to uncover the truth and identify the culprit. Are you up to the challenge?
