"These murder mysteries are fun, engaging, and community participation is very high. They have been an excellent fundraiser for the Friends of the Maurice M Pine Library.

We recently held a murder mystery for the Bergen County Cooperative Library System's annual scholarship fundraiser and a great time was had by all. Highly recommended."
