The Boddy in the Snowbank — Jenna Bennett
“The Clue characters are locked in a winter lodge. Mr. Boddy is found dead in a snowdrift with no visible signs of trauma. Who did it and how do you prove it using just the things in the lodge?”
This short - 1,600 word - story based around the whodunit game Cluedo/Clue was written as a guest post for the 7criminalminds blog in January 2011, based on the prompt above.
This is Mr. Boddy's faithful retainer, Blanche White's recollection of the events of the fatal night, as told to police detective Bruno Gray.
It's the Clue characters like you've never seen them before!
* * * THIS SHORT STORY IS FREE ON B&N, Smashwords, KoboBooks, and iTUNES * * *
DISCLAIMER:
The whodunit game CLUEDO"/CLUE" was designed by Anthony E. Pratt, a solicitor's clerk in Birmingham, England, in 1944.
The first version of the game was published in 1949.
CLUEDO"/CLUE" is the property of Hasbro, not of this author.
I'm simply borrowing the characters for a bit of fun.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
* * * * * “For such a short story (only 8 pages) this story is so much fun. For me, it was very reminiscent of early Agatha Christie, with the country estate and the intriguing characters, with oh so many secrets! With an ending full of surprises and one that I didn't see coming, it sure was a great way to spend a few minutes of reading on a winter's day. I highly recommend you try out this fun little mystery. It's a definite must for fans of classic mystery novels, and anyone that has ever played Cluedo/Clue.” "Bella McGuire, Cozy Mystery Book Reviews
