Who has massive strength?
Who is an expert at space-time discontinuities?
Who is the closest thing to a butler?

You fill in the dots... (I already have the postmark in.)
hm. that looks like it is about *several* people. how many are in your answer ?

there is only one chapter left that will be posted tomorrow, then it's up to you to find the culprit ! we'll post the solution after the deadline for sending in your answers (deadline is the 16th, solution will be posted the 17th).
So only one more chapter (I hope it is a long one) and then we have until Sunday to think about it and make an accusation?

An official accusation. People are making accusations on this thread all the time....

You say accusation, I say deduction.

[Yeah, right - as if there was any logic in this tangled skein of string and lies]

Oooh ... I like that as a title for this mystery: The Tangled Skein of String and Lies.
[Temporal displacement optional but seemingly vital to the solution.]

There is one big thing missing in this story. Motive. Nothing has been mentioned about anybody's motive....

Or maybe one of the suspects will be carrying concealed a lobster cracker and pick - and will crack the hard-boiled detective!!! The Lobster will be revealed as the murderer - who suffered amnesia as the result of a botched temporal dislocation at the hands of zelda - the moll that hires the P.I. is always an accomplice of the villain!!

Clue: which mod is wearing a lobster bib??? And carrying a tub of melted butter?
