Kathryn’s life has revolved around books. That is why she became a librarian. Some people, however, might call her a dreamer. She will admit that she has always longed for a more exciting life. Tonight has been especially exciting for her. For once, she does not have to be content just reading a mystery in one of the library books. She can finally live the adventure.
As a mystery novel fan, she has learned the crucial factors in solving any murder. The killer must have a motive to murder and the opportunity to do so.
Kathryn was Elizabeth Killingsworth’s best friend. She would never have dreamed of killing her. In fact, she could not have killed her. We know that Elizabeth was murdered in the wine vaults this evening & Kathyrn was nowhere near the wine vaults today.
Furthermore, Elizabeth was found with a corkscrew jutting out of her neck. Earlier today, Elizabeth told Kathryn that Norman D’Adly had given that same corkscrew to her as a gift. He had even inscribed it to her. Elizabeth mentioned that she dropped the corkscrew in the rose garden today after being stung by a bee. She rushed back to the Farmhouse for treatment. The time was 1:00 PM.
Only the people who were in the rose garden today would have had access to the murder weapon used to kill Elizabeth. Kathryn Lawless is innocent.
