This year four funeral processions for the same great-aunt of a Gold Coast family have rolled slowly past the Velvet Door — six hearses each, a brass band and not one tear. At the fourth, a hearse hit a pothole on Clark Street and the coffin clinked.

Roaring Twenties: case 37

This Evil case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 20 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 6 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 37 of the Roaring Twenties case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
