Can you solve it?
Having obtained interviews with some of the last remaining witnesses and having researched the facts and gathered photographs from around the world, for many years, this is a fascinating, yet true, account of the events of 1938, at Dunmore. The story unfolds with twists and turns and would have challenged the great Agatha Christie, herself.
On the 24th September 1938, two days before the wedding of Lieutenant William McClintock, to society beauty, Helen Mackworth and while preparations were in full swing, the two lovers were found shot dead, together with the boy's mother.
No-one witnessed the shootings, despite the fact that there were many people in and around the house and much ado, in preparation for the forthcoming wedding. An inquest was hastily arranged and a verdict returned, all within a few hours of the shootings.
Two days later, instead of a wedding, a triple funeral took place and with the clouds of war looming, the event was, in time, largely forgotten, outside of the village of Carrigans.
However, within the village and surrounding area, whispers and speculation refused to go away and with this in mind, the writers, Frank McGurk and Ken McCormack decided, fifty years later, to attempt to solve the "Mysterious Affair at Dunmore".
