★★★★★
“Whodunnit? Tim dunnit – and he did it so well I can’t wait for the next one!”
Fairy-Powered Productions★★★★½
“A must-see for fans of Murder, She Wrote, but a great pick for anyone looking to kick back and have a fun, friendly and occasionally bitchy evening of interactive tv.”
The SMU Review★★★★
“I’d challenge anyone to sit through this show and not get utterly invested in figuring out whodunit.”
West End Wilma★★★★
“This is a highly entertaining production even if you have never seen an episode, filled with outrageous fun.”
British Theatre Guide★★★★
“For a funny, campy evening, there is little that could beat Solve-Along-A-Murder-She Wrote’s unique qualities and Benzie’s wit and charm. Personally this reviewer can’t wait to revisit Cabot Cave. Never mind “whodunnit”, more like “yougottadoit!.”
