A Totally New, and Original Detective Gnomes and Dr. Awesome Murder Mystery Story That’s Better than Any Other One You’ve Ever Read OR The Suspicious Butler A Murder Mystery by Tabitha Mystery (And Not Her Stupid Cousin) April 2 – 4, 2026 In this farcical, suspenseful spoof, we meet Tabitha Mystery – second cousin to a very famous and successful mystery author, who shall not be named or even mentioned around her! When her publisher calls to say she’s fired, Tabitha begs for one more chance to write the greatest murder mystery ever. The only problem? She doesn’t have a single original idea. But maybe she can get away with “borrowing” some characters from other successful stories. Get ready to test your detective skills as Tabitha frantically tries to include every famous literary and pop culture sleuth she can, in hopes of creating the most thrilling mystery story ever!
