Murder and Mayhem Under the Harvest Moon!
The story
At Oakhaven Farm's famed Harvest Moon Festival, amidst a sudden, violent storm that traps everyone indoors, a chilling discovery is made: Bartholomew Buttercup, the estate's detested judge, is found gruesomely beheaded in the heart of the corn maze. With the sheriff missing and the storm raging, suspicion falls on the costumed guests, each harboring secrets and simmering resentments. Can you unmask the killer before the tempest outside mirrors the one brewing within, or will Oakhaven Farm become a graveyard for more than just pumpkins?
Setting: Oakhaven Farm, a sprawling, slightly dilapidated rural estate known for its prize-winning pumpkins and fiercely competitive Harvest Moon Festival.
