Murder sells as we know well; dead bodies and the lot.
Booksales swell that showcase hell; with graveyards in the plot.
The jacket cover promises a steamy tale uncensored;
The stately clock, at midnight stops; and so begins adventure!
A haunted house, a headstone; a wolf howls in the night;
A storm that drones, while all alone; the butler snuffs the light.
He disappears and no one hears the creaking cellar door;
An evil laugh; a silver shaft, of moonlight on the floor.
On a binge of cruel revenge, (the readers hold their breath);
A crooked figure holds the trigger, face as cold as death.
She hears a noise (and to our joy), the helpless lady fair;
In filmy flowing negligee, descends the winding stair;
Two shadows on the wall appear; a flash of light; a gun!
She gasps and grasps, in limp collapse, and down the stairs she comes!
A pool of blood, the houselights flood, the guests look down and tremble;
Shuffled all, just down the hall, and in the den assembled.
Jealousy or greed or lust, but who will solve the kill?
The gumshoe paces and retraces; someones hid the will!
The tale descends to tawdry end; The killer will be caught!
And much depends on clues that lend us secrets to the plot!
Tho well resent the hours we spent to learn the final score;
Given time, to solve a crime, well get in line once more!

Very well written and it captures and hold the readers attention. Another enjoyable piece i look forward to reading more.
Reminds me of the game Clue as well as the movie of the same name from the 80s.

This reminds me of Hollywood in the 1930/'/s and weirdly so of the UK. prior to the war. And yet again several episodes of The Tree Stooges with old man Goodrich...
Full of mystique and mystery. Spectacular Indeed. I really enjoyed it. |
