Becklaw S Murder Mystery Tour

Josephine Anderson, youngest of the immense Anderson clan, has an itch to travel and to put some distance between herself and Piney Woods, Louisiana, and she is determined to scratch it with a stint as a traveling actor for a murder mystery dinner show. With Beatrice Becklaw in the pilot’s seat, the troupe of four amateur actors hit the circuit – and hit the end of the tour when a real dead body stops the show. Jo’s fondness for Miss Bea is the impetus to find out just who ruined the tour, and the person she least suspects is the one she needs to watch. Set in the beautiful mountains of Colorado, Becklaw’s Murder Mystery Tour is proof that sometimes the confines of the family compound is the best place to be, nutty family and all.
