Brentwood Murder Mystery
Picture this: It's 1870 and Brentwood, Ontario has sprung up as a lumber town, but the only one to make a fortune was the local rum runner, William Boddy. Old Bill is widely thought to be the worst thing to ever grace Sunnidale Township. At least, until his rotten kids roll into town, each eager to stake a claim to the Boddy booze booty. But there’s a catch: Old Bill has long sworn that none of his ungrateful spawn will see a red cent until he’s dead and gone, and they’re out of their mind with waiting. Maybe one of them might give him a nudge in the right direction. One thing’s for sure: There are dark days ahead for Brentwood and Old Sunnidale.​
