The scene is set,
A body lies dead,
Crowned in a pool of blood,
A hammer bludgeoned the victim's beautiful head.
Several suspects have emerged,
Each one with a motive to kill,
Their motives unique and diverse,
A suspect may have killed for financial gain, another one for a sadistic thrill.
Challenges, obstacles, hurdles to be overcome await the detective within this mystery,
She has entered a web of deceit, wealth, treachery and lies,
Will this case be solved? Or how long will it take to solve? she asks herself,
The strain and complexity of this case show in her weary eyes.

- Comment from author about the poem: I saw the excellent murder mystery film, Knives Off starring Christopher Plummer, Jamie Lee Curtis and Don Johnson towards the end of last year. For some strange reason I was thinking about this film and I was inspired to write this poem.

Hi Andy,
You'll love it.
When I saw it last year it was the first time I had seen a murder mystery in years around Xmas.
It certainly was an unforgettable journey into last year's festive season.
Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.
