What's it all about? Following the highly successful debut of one of Joy Swift's Original Murder Weekends in Triora in 2006, Joy has happily agreed to write a new plot especially for Italy in 2007. Joy's weekends are addictive and ideal for individuals, couples or groups to attend. You are enjoying the company of your fellow guests over a splendid, three course dinner - when a shot rings out, a blood curdling scream rends the night air, and to your horror you realise that the charming person sitting next to you ... has just been shot! But the weekend has only just begun - that victim is the first of many that will be deviously despatched over the next three days. The clues are abundant, the rows are explosive, and the suspects' skeletons are tumbling out of their closets - all in front of your very eyes! Joy Swift's Original Murder Weekends guarantee realism, excitement and fun with lots and lots of laughter. You arrive at your delightful hotel, anticipating the fun, exciting and very eventful weekend ahead. A ghastly murder has been committed - police are racing to the scene - your instincts as a mystery buff tell you there is a crime to be solved! The plot is so complex you will be busy detecting until the early hours of Sunday morning. Will you be able to nail the murderer and win one of our coveted trophies? This new plot is written exclusively for Triora and will be explained in the letter sent to you a couple of weeks before your weekend. "When Anita asked that we do an "Italian Job" as we affectionately called Murder in the Mountains, I was delighted, but had no idea how magical and fun the trip would turn out to be. The location is breathtaking and the hotel was so perfect and the staff were so friendly, (albeit very confused when the actors started rowing and dying around them!) and helpful that the entire trip was a "joy" from beginning to end! We can't wait to return next year for what will be five more very special Murder Breaks, for which I am writing a very special Italian plot I do hope you'll be able to join us in the enchanting village of Triora very best wishes" Joy x
