In The Hand

Autograph Hounds
Mr. Boddy has a rare autograph, that of Nohands Sebastian Bach. He tells the
guests not to steal it for if he finds it missing, he will search everyone's
room. This doesn't stop the guests who plan to steal it and hide it away.
WHO STOLE THE AUTOGRAPH? WHERE? WITH WHAT WEAPON??
Chapter 9 - Trading
Cards
Mr. Boddy acquires six new vases with different designs, Stars, Swirls, Stripes,
Dots, Flowers and Squares. Each guest has a favourite while disliking the
others, so Boddy tells them that if a vase is stolen he will know who stole it.
He then makes everybody promise faithfully that they will confess to stealing
their favourite vase if they do it. Everyone agrees. Later, Miss Scarlet comes
up with the idea of everyone stealing a vase for someone else and swapping later
so they can honestly say that they did not steal their favourite vase when
questioned by Boddy. They write the vase descriptions on cards and each take one
so they know which vase to steal. But even this is fraught with difficulties
when some take a card with their own choice of vase and others just hate the
vase card they have been given so much they don't even want to steal it!!
WHO STOLE WHICH VASE??
Chapter 10 - The
Vanishing Vampire
Mr. Boddy has a painting of a Coffin called Portrait of a Vanishing Vampire. He
tells the guests that it has to be kept in the light because legend has it that
if it is left in darkness, the Vampire will emerge and go on a feeding frenzy.
Professor Plum is too scared to steal it and runs off screaming. The other
guests, however, think it is all a hoax and plan to steal it. When it has
changed hands a few times, a guest is caught with it by Mr. Boddy. The guest
kills Boddy but as he turns he sees the Vampire approaching him, fangs
bared.......! WHO KILLED MR. BODDY? WITH WHAT
WEAPON??
