Leo and the Library Detectives
Join us for a fun, interactive mystery at Nottingham City Libraries, part of our Agatha Christie: World of Mystery programme.
More about the show
Leo opened the library this morning to the most horrific sight he could possibly have imagined, a body in the crime fiction section of the library!
Can Leo and a team of Library Detectives solve the crime and identify the perpetrator before the police arrive? You’ll get into character and interrogate the other members of the book club, scour the archives, and uncover some surprising similarities to a cold case from the 1930s.
Suitable for ages 7+.
Written and performed by “masterful storyteller” (West End Best Friend) Daniel McVey, following a sold-out run of his murder mystery show A Foot is Not an Appropriate Prize for the Tombola at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. This promises to be a hilarious, bizarre, and knotty interactive mystery that everyone can enjoy.
