Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s master sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, with his loyal friend Dr. John Watson, follow the clues in a baffling new mystery for 2016, “Sherlock Holmes and The Case of Melpomene’s Mask,” during Cape May’s Sherlock Holmes Weekend, March 18-20. For many years now, Dr. Watson has been telling his tales to the audience in the auditorium of the Horatio Theatre. Now the audience will have the chance to solve a case with this classic theatre as the setting. Stalk the gas-lit streets in search of clues and compete for the US$250 grand prize and a variety of other gifts as you attempt to solve the mystery. Full weekend packages are available at US$200 per couple or US$105 per person and include welcome reception, performances, tour, luncheon and gift. (http://www.capemaymac.org)
