__A Sestina is Announced__

On Friday, October 29, the Gazette announced a murder

In the place of Little Paddocks, home to Miss Blacklock.

The residents came through the doors; it was a game, they thought,

Until three shots rang out that night and got blood on Blacklock’s fake

Pearls. But poor Rudi Scherz was shot to death

And the murder case yet unknown.

Detective Craddock came in to solve the case unknown

And deduce the cause and rationale behind that fateful murder.

Among his questioned was Miss Mitzi, chef of Delicious Death.

Then after that he came to the owner of Little Paddocks: Miss Blacklock.

After hearing their alibis, he had no reason to believe them fake;

They were just panicked by the darkness and confusion...or so the detective thought.

The detective came to consult Miss Marple, a master of thought.

She considered the case and all that was unknown.

Miss Maple tried to deduce whatever might have been fake

Particularly about Scherz - it was not suicide, but murder!

For there was nothing of value worth stealing in the home of Miss Blacklock.

But who in the world would want Rudi Scherz’s death?

To look deeper into the case, Craddock saw old Goedler, on the brink of death,

and reveals that there is more to this case than was thought.

Mr. Goedler left his fortune to Miss Blacklock.

The snubbed relatives Pip and Emma, their location unknown

most definitely have a cause for murder.

The botched robbery was most certainly a fake.

No one’s excitement for Miss Bunner’s party was fake,

For they greatly anticipated the Delicious Death.

But it seems that the cake actually was murder.

When Dora lost her aspirin nobody gave a second thought.

Meanwhile Letitia changes her will for reasons unknown,

Which leaves both Phillipa and Julia bewildered at Miss Blacklock

Are Patrick and Julia really cousins of Miss Blacklock?

Or are they and Phillipa both fake?

The location of identifying pictures is unknown.

Miss Marple wants to recreate the scene of the “accidental” death,

and has picked up more clues than she originally thought

But it’s too late already! Miss Murgatroyd has been subjected to murder.

They gather at Little Paddocks to reveal the unknown: Phillipa is Pip, who would have thought.

Mitzi frantically accuses Miss Blacklock, then it is Mitzi whom she tries to murder.

Miss Blacklock is the cause of all this death: Charlotte, not Letitia, whose whole life was a fake.
