For full details, see the Announcement and episodes thread.

The following prizes are up for grabs:

True and I do enjoy the anticipation of finding out either way. Good things are worth waiting for and that includes the chapters of the winter holiday mystery and its solution.

There is still time to reread the mystery and submit your best guess about who you think is the murderer.

It is always fun to read about how everyone follows the clues in the story to figure out who did it.

Lots of lovely prizes too!

Big kudos goes to...

We're hugely thankful to the fine folks from eReader-Store, Kobo, PocketBook and WaterField Designs for providing the prizes. You're great!

Good luck everyone! Now the competition is closed, it is now time for the mods to sit down, look at the answers, and decide who was the murder so no one wins and the mods gets to keep all the prices.

I like your thinking. Sadly, there was the below restriction.

Hoping I'll find a nice little PM waiting for me sometime soon. I know the chances aren't good, but it never hurts to dream.

Well, since you are dead, you technically can't be part of the community anymore, right? I think it was on purpose that almost all of you died..

An interesting interpretation of the rules! Somehow I don't think Alex would allow even dead moderators to enter the competition.

The waiting is almost over! The solution to the mystery will be posted very shortly in the Competition thread.

but i really hate waiting. it's a good thing i can't breathe or i would surely be annoying someone by jumping up and down with eagerness. we're having a wind storm just now and i am typing this on my phone.

i need to go elevate my arm.
