Welcome to the annual "Murder Creek Food Festival," where culinary passion meets intrigue. Burt Frazier, a luminary in the local food scene, hosts a celebration filled with cooking contests, tastings, and possibly… Mae's legendary ham!

Mae, a beloved figure renowned for her culinary prowess, has crafted a ham that steals the spotlight at every festival. Her dish becomes the talk of the town, drawing awe and admiration from guests and judges alike.

Yet, amidst the vibrant celebration of gastronomic delights, darkness descends over Murder Creek.

Mae, the festival's star attraction, meets a tragic end, her life cut short. As you navigate the labyrinth of clues and accusations, you must defend your innocence while unraveling the secrets that lurk beneath the surface of this quaint town. Who harbored a bitter grudge against Mae, and who had the motive to silence her forever? In Murder Creek, where passions run high and secrets run deep, the truth is elusive, and everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

Come hungry for clues and leave satisfied with the truth.

We believe there may be a couple more, but we’ve identified the following suspicious characters:

Burt Frazier was no stranger to the culinary scene. As the owner of Frazier's Taters restaurant, Burt had always eyed Mae's ham as stiff competition to a lineup of signature dishes. Rumors swirled that Burt harbored envy over Mae's culinary talent and the admiration her ham attracted at every gathering.

Jack Thompson was Mae's spouse and, though seemingly devoted, had motivations of his own. Behind the scenes, Jack had been tirelessly working to land Mae a spot on a cooking show. But with Mae suddenly out of the picture, perhaps Jack saw a new opportunity—to step into the spotlight and ride the wave of sympathy and attention her tragic death created.

Alex Morgan was a rival cooking show host whose own program teetered on the edge of cancellation. Mae’s rising star posed a serious threat to Alex’s future. With everything at stake, could Alex have taken drastic action to eliminate the competition and save a floundering career?

Riley Parker was Mae’s closest friend, a constant companion in the kitchen and confidant in all things culinary. But even the strongest friendships can be shadowed by jealousy. Did Riley secretly long for the attention Mae received? Perhaps the promise of fame proved too tempting—and Mae’s untimely end, too convenient.
