The other suspects are children of Remy: Bobby( elder son), Ralph ( younger son), Lizzie ( Ralph’s wife), Humphrey the devoted butler, Dora the new cook.

But I had a lot of fun doing it and the story was over 100,000 words, which I think was an important test in endurance, and showed that I had what it took to commit to an idea and see it through to the end. I also thought it was kind of funny that she came up with the elaborate plot for the murder mystery game they were playing and it was actually a simple response as to who the murderer was.

While everyone seems to be having fun with it and just making jokes, she is totally in it, within minutes she has written countless notes, and she takes it all a bit too serious for me. And I very much enjoyed attempting to solve the case with Pip (who I now want to be my best friend). they made the game fun and the funny scenes between some of the characters made the book better for me.
