A local murder mystery group performed at Barrow library, putting on a Sherlock Holmes inspired performance.
This is part of Highly Suspect UK's tour of Cumbrian libraries for their National Crime Reading Month.
Highly Suspect UK put on tongue-in-cheek performances that are comedy acts as well as murder mysteries.
Michael Spencer, the 'murderer in chief' said: "We get tremendous satisfaction doing it in libraries. It is an interactive event and it brings people together. Different events will get people that have never met before coming together to find out 'who dunnit.'
"It also brings new audiences into the library, we get people that are watching for fun and are just there for the puns and jokes.
"It appears to have a wide age range, from eight to eighty years old. All of whom find something to enjoy in it.
"While it is very much billed as comedy murder mysteries, it's all there to make the audience laugh. But it's not just a throwaway, where anyone can be the killer based on how the audience react, there is always one murderer.
"There is a very specific set of clues that solve the mystery."
The tour will next go to Carlisle.
