At the height of the Roman Empire, the entire populus gathers in the Forum to witness the dedication of a giant statue. The ten-foot-tall statue, crafted entirely of gold, is a perfect depiction of the Emperor, Gaius Caesar. The Emperor's best ally and son-in-law Pompey pulls away the cloth covering the statue, and the crowd is horrified... instead of the golden head of Caesar, a pig's head tops the statue.
Like any Emperor, Caesar is not liked by everyone, but for someone to embarrass him like this is a scandal. Eight people had the opportunity to desecrate the statue, and they gather together to determine which of them committed the shameful deed.

In a rare oversight, [your reception hall’s name] double booked their reception hall. The Curious Detective Society believes that their Annual Detective Convention is being held at the same time and place as the Lieberman’s Bar Mitzvah reception. The detective convention’s keynote speaker even attempts to deliver his speech in the middle of the Lieberman reception. He is embarrassed but gracious when he is cut off and directed to the new location of his convention.
Shortly after the detective departs, another uninvited speaker seizes the microphone. He also assumes that he is addressing the detectives, and announces that he has finally stolen their secret treasure and destroyed the journal that led him to discover it. He quickly realizes that he is ranting to the wrong audience, apologizes for interrupting the party, and slinks out of the room.
Several of the kids at the party discover pages torn out of the detective’s journal. Led by the Lieberman kids, they put the pages together and set out to discover the treasure.
What is the treasure? And what does it have to do with a Bar Mitzvah? The party is about to find out.

The police have finished their investigation, but found nothing, so the families gather to determine who killed Bubba. It won't be easy, though. Everyone had a reason to see Bubba dead, and everyone wanted his position for themselves.
