The year is 1945 and the setting is Oakwood, a high country sheep station situated in a lush green valley surrounded by snow capped mountains. It is the home of the Knoe family. Murray Knoe the station owner, as a gesture to the local community, holds an open ball at the Station shortly after V.J. Day on 29 August 1945. Well over 100 people attend and are wined, dined and danced. You, of course are one of the guests. There is much joy at the ending of the war. The station is filled with laughter, conversation and a general feeling of happiness is present.
The Murder
Late in the evening Marie Knoe, Murray’s daughter is seen going into the drawing room. Murray goes looking for her a short time later and finds her dead on the couch, the victim of suffocation. There are French doors on to the verandah and they are wide open indicating that the perpetrator may have left by that route. Although there were many people present at the ball, by process of elimination, 6 suspects have emerged.
