Jordan’s Reviews > Murder at the Black Cat Cafe > Status Update

About halfway through this main story and my theory right now is that the husband killed his wife and then had his mistress play the part of her which is why she was always hiding her face directly and why her parasol was left in the cafe however I can’t work out why the cat was killed or why it’s blood was mixed with the victims… unless it had scratched the mistress or something

Good progression I’m liking how this mystery and the players have almost all been set-up ad I especially like that a map was included

As for the actual case it’s interesting that both of the married couple had lovers and hence had motive with it likely being the man’s lover in which case he could of killed because she demanded more or something and the wife could of killed her out of jealousy, not enough info

Having just read the start of the prologue, the framing device of the author of the book putting himself in the story and hearing about the case from a series of letters from the detective who worked on it is pretty cool especially as we begin to get into what is called “a faceless corpse” mystery
