Jam and Jeopardy

Bramble Cottage, Upper Dithering

Mrs Pell tasted every jar at the village jam contest and pulled a face at the last one. She never tasted anything again.

🔍

Our Sleuth (name to come) says: “Everyone stood in a different row and a different column, Mrs Pell included. Work out where each of them was. The killer is the only one who was in Mrs Pell’s room.”

The suspects

  • TMr Thistlethwaite
    Bell-ringer. Can't hear a word you say.
  • SMiss Saffron
    Runs the wool shop. Knits while she spies.
  • HDr Hedgecock
    Retired vet. Better with ferrets than people.
  • NNanny Pocock
    Ninety-one. Sharper than the rest put together.
  • VMrs Hettie Pell
    The victim: jam judge.
