A Very Stereotypical Whodunit
Amelia Anthony, famed actress and philanthropist, held a ball at her Rhode Island mansion to benefit various LGBTQ organizations. She greeted every guest at the door, making sure to shake their hand and thank them for coming. Every guest needed a hand-written invitation to be allowed acceptance which, she joked to various members of the party, was the reason her left hand was now permanently stained blue.

The guests had full access to the mansion's various rooms, though mast stayed in the dining room, where food was constantly being served, and in the ballroom where dances were being held. When the clock struck midnight, the many guests of the evening made their way to the ballroom, where their hostess was expected to give a speech. They waited 10, 15, 20 minutes, but still she did not arrive. A few people volunteered to go out on a search party, but they had only been gone a few minutes before a shrill scream was heard. A server, one of the many hired solely for the party, had found Miss Anthony in a spare bedroom, dead on the floor. The blonde curls on the right side of her head were stained red with blood seeping from a bullet wound. There was a gun on the floor near the body, but Miss Anthony was wearing gloves and there were no fingerprints on it.

Was it murder or suicide?
