The Second Cup
Rookie — a single physical spine, and the case teaches you how to work it.
Mrs Ottoline Pell, a dolphin, was found dead in her own drawing room on Tuesday evening. There was a tea tray beside her with two cups on it: hers was empty and the other had been barely touched. Her jewellery is gone. The woman who had been reading her cards was seen leaving at eight and has been brought in from her own house, and the maid was found in the back bedroom with her wrists tied. That is the whole of what you have been given.
Who is in the house
- Madame Sabine Coyne — Card reader, of Marchmont Street
- Alfred Bray — Driver to Madame Coyne
- Mr Hector Prynne — Neighbour, of the house opposite
- Dorcas Tiller — Maid of all work, four years in the house
You may take 3 of them into the interrogation room. Choosing which is most of the game.
