Lawry’s continues virtual murder-mystery dinners this month

“Death by Chocolate” on Thursday will be a trip back to the swinging ’40s, “where someone is about to go from sweet to sour.” “Ruby’s Riddle” on May 20 will be an “expedition to find a new and rare form of jade in the roaring ’20s,” and “A Recipe for Murder” on May 27 will be staged as a finale of “So You Think You Can Cook?” where “There might be too many cooks in the kitchen.”

The shows include a Lawry’s dinner of salad with dressing served with fresh sourdough bread; a choice between the Lawry’s cut of prime rib au jus with mashed potatoes, gravy and Yorkshire pudding or Skuna Bay salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables; and English trifle. It’s $74.20 and reservations must be made by 6 p.m. the day before the event, with meals to be picked up between 5 and 6:30 on the day of the show. The show starts at 7 p.m., and to watch, you must download Zoom on your computer, phone or tablet. Reserve at atouchofmystery.com.
