The story: Licence to Spy
The secret agents are awaiting the arrival of M, at a safe house location BUT 00 dear, there has been a murder!
Whilst the 00 agents, Miss Pocketmoney and friendly foreign agent WD40 wait and secure the room, back at MI6 a body has been discovered by a local police detective.
This murder mystery is all about spies, murder and intrigue. Top secret documents have gone missing too, and is anyone really a friendly spy?
Double 00 dear! Can you help the detective to solve the crime and break this top security case wide open? Dining will take place in the Inspiration Suite of the Village Hotel – will you be inspired to crack the case?
