📸The Victim


The body has been identified: Javier Rivas, 34, newlywed.
Last seen at the pool bar the night before—laughing, drinking, charming everyone as usual.
Now, he’s gone, and his wife Camila can barely speak.
Some say he slipped.
Others are certain it wasn’t an accident.

🕵️‍♀️Tasks:
1. Read a book where a man dies
2. Read a book with an unreliable narrator or shifting perspectives
3. Read a book with tension between lovers or spouses

📸 Investigation: Juliette St. Clair


Juliette’s account went dark the morning after the murder.
No stories. No posts. No selfies.
When asked why, she just scoffed and said, “Even I have limits.”
But it’s what she didn’t say that raised suspicions.

🗣️ Interrogation Snippet:
“Javier was an ass,” Juliette snaps. “Everyone knows that. He hit on me three times before dinner and told me Camila was ‘fragile’—like she wasn’t even real.”

She sighs, rubbing her temples. “Yeah, I was near the pool. We argued. He said he saw one of my livestreams and it ‘made him look bad.’ Whatever that means. I left before things got worse.”

Then she looks up, dead serious. “You should check his phone. He had secrets. Trust me.”

📚Tasks:
1. Read a book featuring drama or rivalry
2. Read a book with a morally grey character
3. Read a book where technology or social media plays a role in the plot
