Fancy solving a mystery?

Back by popular demand, Wrexham Library will host another Murder Mystery as part of the carnival, which is sure to be another sell-out. Put your sleuthing skills to the test and experience what it is like to investigate the most serious of crimes at our nail-biting Murder Mystery evening. Join us as you play detective for the night and help to figure out ‘whodunit?’
