The Missing Letter

Progress is kept for this browser session.
THE SCENE · 9:12 P.M.
A letter disappears from a locked study.
Rain strikes the windows of Blackthorn House. Eleanor steps away for seven minutes; when she returns, the sealed letter that could expose her secret is gone.
The study door is still locked. Three guests were close enough to take it—and each has a reason to keep Eleanor quiet.
“Nobody entered,” Miles insists. “I left the house before nine.”Study the evidence. Choose the one clue that matters most.
EVIDENCE BOARD
What matters most?
Choose one clue to unlock the suspects.
CASE NOTES
Three people had reason to keep Eleanor quiet.
Read every profile before deciding. Motive explains why someone might act; the strongest clue shows whose story does not hold.
One contradiction can change the entire case.
Review the relationship, motive, alibi and contradiction for each suspect.

Decisive evidence
The kitchen receipt signed “M. Reed” at 9:07 p.m. places Miles in the house after he said he had left. The warm key marked with fresh candle wax connects that contradiction to the locked study.
Author-approved solution
Why the evidence leads there
Miles’s timestamped receipt makes his account unreliable. The key and wax then connect him to the locked room, while motive alone would not establish who entered it.
