The personal ad in the Gazette was certainly intriguing: an open invitation to partake in a murder at the home of Letitia Blacklock. The uncharacteristic prank comes as a surprise to Letitia's friends and neighbors-and an even bigger surprise to Letitia herself. Still, the proper hostess has welcomed her unexpected guests for an evening of fun and games. But when the lights go down, and a gunshot rings out, delighted gasps turn to horrified screams.Now one guest, Miss Jane Uarple, wants to play a new game. It's called whodunit.
