St Austell - Market Town & River

The Cornish Alps Ale Affair - Can YOU Solve the Mystery?

Local home-brewer Malty Hopper has been brewing for many years, but he recently decided it was time to up his game. In honour of his home town of St Austell, Malty developed a new beer that he believed would tower above them all - the Cornish Alps ale! However, someone may have taken against this idea, as poor Malty was found floating in a vat of his new brew.

Police now believe Malty met his bitter end before entering the tank, but was it an unfortunate accident or the actions of a jealous rival? Baffled as to who would harm such a mild-mannered man, Chief Inspector Ferman Tayshun has had to draft in assistance with the search for the culprit. He needs the help of top detectives (that's YOU) to work out the clues and put this criminal behind bars - just not the ones that sell beer!
