The Grand Benefit for Retired Choristers raised three thousand pounds in a single night at the Royal Opera. Six months on, not one retired chorister has seen a penny, and the Home for Retired Choristers in Kentish Town has turned out to be a pie shop.

Victorian London: case 44

This Nightmare 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. 10 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 44 of the free Victorian London case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
