Whodunit…?
“The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.”
― Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express
.
The curtain opens…
.
.
Inspector Cat McKitten,
is on the job,
destined to investigate,
a murder most foul…
[audible gasps from the audience]
.
The victim is,
a certain Mr Philias Switchmoat,
the third,
[the audience cheers and groans]
an impossible man,
whose recumbent adventures,
he felt the need to tell,
which exposed the failings of others,
and of himself…
his demise is not a surprise.
.
.
However it was under suspicious circumstances…
.
“The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.”
― Agatha Christie, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
.
There were many bodies swimming in the suspect pool,
pretty much everyone wanted him dead,
[the audience nods so loudly it causes an earthquake]
but,
most
swam at the shallow end,
unwilling to do what they wanted to do.
Three,
were in the deep end,
.
“One of us in this very room is in fact the murderer.”
― Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None
.
Did Mr. Green,
suffocate him,
in the bar,
with secondhand smoke?
.
.
Did Mrs. Peacock
swish her fan,
causing a sudden whirlwind,
which sent him flying,
down the hallway stairs,
head over heels,
and heels over head,
until head cracked?
.
.
Did Miss Scarlet,
kill him with her brain,
bludgeoning him with facts,
in the library?
.
.
“They tried to be too clever—and that was their undoing.”
― Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles
.
Whodunit?
You decide!
