A hidden room beneath a quiet storefront. Jazz spilling into the early hours. Drinks poured where the law cannot reach.

In 1923 Chicago, Prohibition did not end the night- it simply moved it underground.

Inside the Canary room, secrets pass as easily as cash. Conversations are half-heard. Deals are made in shadow. And before the night is over, something will go terribly wrong.

As the music fades and the doors close, those who remained behind will find themselves at the center of a mystery built on timing, trust, and the smallest details left behind.

Listen closely.

Are you ready to catch the culprit?

How to Play Along

As you listen, keep your ears sharp for clues- things people say, things they don't say, suspicious objects, and strange coincidences. I'll introduce you to the suspects, take you through the key locations, and walk you step-by-step through the events leading to the death.

Your mission? Decide who caused the death and why. You can jot down notes as we go, a scrap of paper will do.

But beware, there will be red herrings lurking in the shadows, ready to throw you off the scent.

When we reach the end, I'll give you a moment to lock in your guess... before revealing the truth.

Think you can outwit the culprit? Then let's begin...

Tonight we travel to Paris in the late nineteenth century. Montmartre glows beneath the lamps of the Moulin Rouge, where music, laughter, and spectacle draw artists, aristocrats, and curious visitors into the long nights of the Belle Époque.

Behind the red-painted windmill lies a world of dancers, painters, patrons, and quiet ambition, where admiration can carry many meanings. Some remain harmless, while others slowly turn into something far more dangerous.

And one fateful night, dreams and promises are shattered when a body is discovered beneath the flickering gas lamps of Montmartre.

Are you ready to catch the culprit?

Venice, early seventeenth century. Carnival fills the city with masks, music, and movement, blurring the line between public spectacle and private intention. Beneath the festivities, the city is governed by elite families, rigid expectations, and private arrangements made quietly, often after dark.

A death in the canal appears unremarkable, until it is examined closely. What follows is not a tale of passion or chance, but of access, timing, and decisions made in advance.

Step behind the vermilion walls of the Forbidden City during the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1661-1722), where ritual and rank govern every movement, and silence can speak louder than words.

Tonight, a quiet death in the Inner Court shakes the carefully ordered world of Grand Secretary Xu Wenjin. Was it misfortune, misapplied routine, or something far more deliberate?

In this debut episode of Murder Through Time, a single evening in Georgian Bath becomes a puzzle of motive and opportunity. Those gathered for the night find themselves caught in a web of resentment, secrecy, and quiet calculation, where even the smallest gesture may conceal intent.

Are you ready to catch the culprit?

How to Play Along

As you listen, keep your ears sharp for clues — words chosen too carefully, silences that linger, objects out of place, and coincidences that refuse to be innocent. I’ll introduce you to the suspects, guide you through the setting, and walk you step by step through the events of the evening.

The method will reveal itself. Motives will surface, fracture, and collide.

Your task is to decide who caused the death — and why.

You’re welcome to take notes as we go. A scrap of paper will do. But beware. Not every clue leads to the truth. Red herrings linger in the shadows, waiting to pull you off course. When we reach the end, you’ll have a moment to lock in your verdict before the truth is revealed.

Think you can outwit the culprit? Let’s begin.
