Did Zelda just hire Rock to find the holes in their stories so she could go back in time and clean up any missed evidence? Will Rock live to see tomorrow?

What about Patricia’s comment, “Keep up! Have to stay in front! He's catching up to me!”? Was she speaking of retaining her position as the Formatting Queen, or was she worried that Rock would catch up to her murderous ways? And why did she say that “Zelda never touches the Red Button,” when during the course of the story, Zelda pressed the Red Button twice, and was obviously quite familiar with its operation? Hmmm…

Less that two and a half hours left, folks!

Does anyone have a layout of the floor plan of this moderator suite. Apparently you can see everything and nothing from the same place.

Is this it?

I'm pretty sure at this point, that no matter who the culprit is, they'd get off on an insanity plea...

I never ever ever never ever had a crow bar. It was a fashionable umbrella in case of inclement weather... which I put into the closet because you were all so mixed up as to what it might have been.

So there!

Why did Nate the Great say, “I understand that pshrynk took one on the head. Nasty business. But then, he didn't know that much about electronics.” From the review he published it’s obvious he didn’t care much for the Nook (“The only reason to get the Nook is if you are planning to hack it and install new apps”), and Zelda said that when devices failed to live up to his expectations, he became so inhospitable that people avoided him. Murderously inhospitable?

One hour and twenty one minutes to go! Get those entries in soon, folks!

I guess in twenty seven more minutes, we can begin posting our solutions to this thread.

Than means if you haven't already submitted your answer along with your user name to springcontest@mobileread.com, you have twenty six minutes to get it in!

I can't handle the suspense!!!!

We need that Dexter fella from Miami to test the blood spatter on that jacket to determine who exactly was wearing it at the time of the murder.

Hey, isn't BOb from Miami?

Nekokami killed pshrink!

* She had motive: Not only was she incensed by pshrink charging her $300.00 for advice she considered unnecessary, but she may have been jealous of his success as a writer as well.

* She has no alibi. No one saw her during the time of the murder, and she avoided the question when Rock asked her.

* Pshrink implicated her by the Yellow Star with the Red Q he was clutching. She said, “I’m a BLOODY QUAKER!”, and what better way for the dying man to implicate a Bloody Quaker than by pulling out his old avatar? Red Q = Bloody Quaker. Oh, what a giveaway!

I chose Nekokami as the murderer because she had motive, no alibi, and was a “Bloody Quaker” who was implicated by pshrink by his clutching of the Yellow Star with the Red Q.

Case closed.

(I hope!)

Sounds like you nailed it Tom.

Rock Lobster · 05-17-2010, 12:13 AM

Well, people, you have your answers. I'll get the bill in the mail right away.

ARG!!!! I changed my answer from MTH to PilotBob at the last minute

WT Sharpe · 05-17-2010, 12:16 AM

I had put MTH at the scene of the crime, and it occurred to me that people don't see their own actions, but what was his motive?

I think Nekokami paid off Lobster to throw the blame on MTravellerH! If I'm called to jury duty, they'll never convict him!

How did the rest of you do?
