‘Murder at Cranborne Abbey’ is a wildly entertaining comedy crime caper that takes you on a rollicking ride through 1990s Devon!

Meet Chipp and Pinn, two down-on-their-luck second hand furniture salesmen, who become private detectives. Chipp is a tough, rebellious lad raised on a council estate, and Pinn, a lonely public-schoolboy born into wealth. This unlikely duo team up to run a second- hand furniture business that struggles to survive. When a desperate client offers them money to solve a mystery, they embark on a series of bizarre, thrilling, and often comical adventures. What begins as a simple search for a stolen watch spirals into a series of outrageous escapades involving haunted abbeys, drug dens, government conspiracies, and a plot to overthrow the UK government. Along the way, Chipp and Pinn must dodge corrupt police officers, outsmart spies, and clear their names in a murder mystery where they are the prime suspects. This is a genre-bending tale of friendship, intrigue, and laugh-out-loud moments. With a cast of eccentric characters, unexpected twists, and a musical soundtrack to accompany the ride, this is a story like no other—a hilarious adventure that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly irreverent.
