The Great Nairobi Murder Mystery

Today we celebrated Tristan's 10th birthday with a murder mystery set 100 years ago in British East Africa. All of Tristan's 4th grade class were invited and several of our good friends came in costume. It was a lot of fun!

The Delamere family--

Doris, Hugh, Dot, Dolores, D.D. and Edward

The mystery was built around the famous Lord Delamere who remains a large figure in Kenyan history. Unlike the true story of Lord Delamere, our fictional family was torn apart by jealousy and ended in murder. Today's party, everyone was a suspect as we tried to get to the bottom of this crime.
