Whodunit #1
This is an anthology of sensational detective mysteries. One story involves a murder where a woman in orange confesses to killing her brother-in-law Henry, but an investigator named Bradley discovers a counterfeit ten-dollar bill that reveals the real culprit—a man named Arthur who had orchestrated the murder with his wife to inherit Henry's estate, using clues like a distinctive ring and the victim's contact lens glasses to frame the confession. Another story, from Edgar Peck's case book, centers on a suicide game played at a party where guests write suicide notes, but when a woman named Mrs. Peters is found dead, police initially believe it is suicide until fingerprint evidence and wax analysis prove she was actually murdered.
