Salisbury House relaunches murder mystery dinners

Zoom in: "'Til Death Do Us Part" is set in 1987 and centers on the rehearsal dinner for a headline-grabbing couple.

• Guests gather to celebrate, but not everyone makes it to the wedding.
• As tensions rise, someone gets "tossed like the rice after the reception," according to Salisbury House's description.

The intrigue: This is the fifth murder mystery dinner written by Timothy Johnson, a semi-retired IT employee from Urbandale.

• He is also writing a series of murder mystery novels under the pen name Warren Haddock — a mashup of the last names of friends who encouraged him to write.

What's next: Tickets for the March 20 and 21 dinner and performances go on sale at 5:30pm Thursday.

• Tickets: $125
