The Midnight House

The sheriff likes a fall against the hearth. The dock remembers a boat.

You are a defense-minded investigator reconstructing a single night at a lakeside house. Six guests. One death. Every clue you can find is fair. The solution is unique. You reconstruct a lakeside death for the defense. Violence stays off-stage. The clues you can find are the only clues you need.
