Old Mrs Ashton seems strange but the nephew is clearly still affected by dark events in the past - and then there's the girl with the doll that keeps crying who's begging to be taken out of there.

A truck driver checks-in and keeps talking about murders that happened in the area years ago and what business the mysterious visitor is up to? What is the mystery and what is the secret?

In the style of Agatha Christie this entertaining play will have you on the edge of your seat challenging you to solve the mystery of the Ashton Hotel.
