Become a detective. Follow the evidence. Catch the culprit! 

You and your team will work with Detective D. Ketchum, a quirky Fort Lauderdale homicide detective, in interviewing a list of sketchy suspects. 

Hmm...Was it Marina Seabring, the "poor" widow? It could've been Ariel Fisher, the mystical psychic! Or maybe it was Mr. Brookes, the quiet reference librarian? 

Who's done the victim in, and why? Who will find the key to the mystery and track down the killer? Explore your sleuthing skills and explore Main Library. 

Registration is recommended. Please include the number of guests in your group. 

Please note, you will be working in groups of 8-10 individuals; we will try to accommodate you with your party. 

This program is made possible in part by the Friends of the Fort Lauderdale Libraries.
