Question G

[Jonetta]

Who was your main suspect for Parnell Vaughn’s murder and why? Was it the same for Wylie Dinsmore’s murder?

[Robin]

My first suspect in Paul Vaughn's murder was Wylie Dinsmore. But when Dinsmore ended up dead, I changed my mind. I started wondering if Mr. Hawkes or his wife killed Vaughn and Dinsmore.

[Jonetta]

For some time, I thought it was Baxter. But, when Wylie turned up dead, that scarf turned me towards Adelia and I never left. And, I guessed that conniving Eliza was blackmailing her.

[Robin]

The author tried to make us think that it took two people to tie Dinsmore to the chair while holding a gun to his head. I wasn't sold on that idea. I thought he may have had too much to drink and was unconscious at his desk when the murderer struck. I couldn't imagine Baxter and Adelia working together to kill someone. Also couldn't imagine Eliza working with anyone.

[Jonetta]

I thought it couldn’t be either of those pairs, too, Robin. My theory was Adelia convinced him to have “unusual” sex by tying him up so that turned out right.

[Robin]

Good call, Jonetta!
