The afternoon seemed to be going very well with everyone eating, drinking and getting along. As the dark shroud of the evening drew in though, tragedy struck and a body was found at Barbara's house. While the police were going about their business, the guests all set about trying to solve the murder to exonerate their names, but what other sinister motives were going on underneath the surface? What secrets were people hiding, who would resort to murder to keep those secrets hidden and who was the unfortunate sole who had burnt their last sausage?

Can you work out who was responsible for the Summer Slaying or will you be the one who is Bumped off at the Barbeque!
