Diane ~Firefly~’s comments from the The Perks Of Being A Book Addict group.

I'll probably start Tell Me Lies after I finish up my current books (so tomorrow or Mon). If it doesn't work for expensive car, the blurb mentions nosy neighbors...

Do either of these work for expensive car on cover?

Welcome back Trinia! I hope you had a great trip.

I loved this book (although I will admit it's style isn't for everyone) if someone wants to read for fingerprint on the cover.

I hope you are having an awesome trip Trinia!

Any chance we can get the March spreadsheet setup like Feb for row 1-3? Where it shows all possibilities for each card and freezes the pane?

We need more book talk, so what was everyone's favorite read of Feb?

For me it was a tie between:
which seemed like a final book of the series, but loved that we finally got to stay at the North Pole and see what it was like.

which had an interesting take on the bond between a Siren and her rock as well as a psychotic vampire queen with a crush on the hero.

This is hurting my brain...

Well we get 3 guesses. So one should be Donna and one Elaine.

Any chance people were working together to do this somehow?

The lawyer didn't have a key until after he was found dead. Plus there were three deadbolts, which only unlock from the inside.

What simple search will prove it? Search of the people? He already searched the room and didn't find anything.


Tubert shook his head. “I’m afraid not. Succinylcholine is poorly absorbed in the intestines. Someone had to inject it. Depending on the dose, death could have occurred within seconds.”

“But that’s impossible!” said Donna. “How could someone have done that if the room was securely locked from the inside?” “That’s the question, isn’t it?” replied Tubert. “But I’m pretty sure I know who did it and how. And a simple search will prove it.”

Trinia wrote: "HA! Diane , we are on the same page... and evidently posting at the same time ;D"

We must be on the right track then!!!

Why is Elaine's job important to know? We don't know what Jack does and only know about Sam because ease of access to the drug.

But if it was the large dose they say, would he have been able to go down 4 flights of stairs for dinner than back up for bed before being affected?

Why did Elaine have the letter? Wouldn't the lawyer have taken it originally when they discovered it?

Trinia wrote: "I am completely puzzled too... I don't even have an intelligent guess , other than naming one of the kids. I think as how it was done was sort of told. The toxin ? So that should leave us with who ..."

I think the how would be how was the toxin administered?

Ok, maybe it is Donna. Why would she know there were 3 deadbolts originally? She didn't live there.

I think this is the part where the policeman figured it out. But I'm not sure what the splintered hole from deadbolts means.


Turning to examine the door, Tubert saw three arrays of splintered holes on the doorjamb.

“There used to be three deadbolts there,” explained Donna.

“The police had to use a battering ram to get in.”

“Daddy locked himself in every night,” said Elaine.

Maybe it is the lawyer. She found the letter in the desk. The question is how did she kill him? Nothing states she was around the day he died (he was going to see her on Monday to change his will).

Well I just read over the story again and realized we get three guesses and need more than just a name

Then the captain / co-captain needs to PM the Pixie account with answers to the following questions (don't forget to include your team name!!):
- Who killed Faustus Dutton?
- How was it done?
- What was it about the killer that gave him or her away?

Your team get up to three guesses

So am I missing something in these clues? They don't seem very helpful.

I would like to know which child wanted to never sell the collection.

Based on basically nothing, I still say the daughter did it.
