1. Maybe .... maybe not ...

2. Maybe .... maybe not ...

3. Maybe ..... maybe not ....

Next questions?

[seriously - answering those questions 'might' give away the answer]
[but you're thinking along interesting lines]
Well 3 should be a no as Ravenne left the house for Groceries and returned, and I can't remember any characters being proficient in picking locks...

As to multiple murderers... I have pieced together so many different possibilities... I just don't know anymore

Agh I think I need sleep...

Oh wait, what did I find in the OP of the story thread!:

Yes, I thought it had to be one person also because of the rules. Hope Agatha kept that in mind because a conspiracy would make sense too!

I also see several possible answers. Maybe Agatha would tell us if the Victrola was real?

Also - if Alex thinks he has all the keys..is it his house? Do all the mods live there? Have they been there a long time? Did Alex have his own parking space?

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!

That was bugging me too. Alex always says/acts as if he's the only one with the keys, meanwhile everything is always wide open and many people (the murderer, to begin with) walk in an out (the house, the library)
I think I'll trust my instinct, even though it may not be consistent with all the details provided. But most of them are here to trap us, aren't they?

Actually Alex only said he has the only key to the library

But to keep it simple (and trusting Agatha to tell the truth) I believe when somebody leaves the house he will or can't sneak back in through a nonmentioned backdoor or a conveniently open window.

Otherwise there are at least two suspects without an alibi for the whole evening...

I believe it's said in the last chapter that everyone must be sleeping in the house since Alex brought the keys with him.
Found it!

I can't wait for the answer to be revealed so that I can get a good night's sleep. I was dreaming about it last night and kept waking up thinking of clues I'd missed!

I even dreamt that Agatha posted there was only one person who had got the right answer, and had to come check this thread this morning just to make sure it really was a dream...

By reading the story before going to bed yesterday, I was hoping for an epiphany in my dreams. What I got for sure was a tossing and turning night, an idea that fell short in the morning and more questions about the keys
Glad to see I'm not alone

I did it! I picked a name out of the 14 moderators starring in the story and submitted it. Now, wait and see
Good luck everyone!
