It's sideways srry

No guesses?

What book is that? :o

Also i doubt the guys story because why would the victim be angry if he got married to the ex wife of his friend?
>something's fishy here

Also since i re-read it:
>Tom pays phil a surprise visit for no fucking reason
>Phil doesnt talk to him for no fucking reason, because apparently phil is angry at him for no fucking reason

Either both of these guys are inconsistently retarded or Tom did it

Wrong.
It's a crime solving book I found from the 70s

Pic of book
Hint: Philip's description.

Wait a second......why was he painting all dressed up with immaculate hygiene and sporting clothes..........

Also, his shoes were clean, yet he stepped on paint?

Bingo. Moving on to mystery 2 in a moment

If she couldnt read it at her apartment, and her glasses were at the apartment, how could she read it at the party?

Damn you're good. Onwards.

She wasn't wearing glasses at the party, (and the glasses were in the drawer that wasn't in Waring's room)so she would not have been able to identify his writing in the "letter " to Betty.

This kinda is hard mode since it's from the 1970s so it might not be so obvious

Unsure this time. Something to do with cleaning the felt hat?

No.
Something to do with Supper at 5 o clock

is it a wind up clock? someone had to have been there to wind it up?

Did alarms in the 70s last long? Surely more than 2 days

You win.

Well I'm going to bed see you tomorrow faggots.

Fuck you post more

I am win

>the lock yields to one of the keys.
Didnt the lady say it was a special lock?
Not only that, but why would the clock ring EXACTLY at 5 o clock, indicating her to make supper, at a guys room that has been abandoned for a week?
