No Clue! A Mystery Story

On a sweltering summer night at the estate of the eccentric Arthur Sloane, detective Jefferson Hastings stumbles upon a body on the lawn: young Mildred Brace, lifeless on the grass below her window. When Sloane's daughter Lucille begs Hastings to find the killer, he expects cooperation from the household. Instead, he finds a wall of silence. The victim's own mother refuses to speak. Sloane offers only riddles. Every guest maintains their innocence, yet alibis begin to crumble under scrutiny, and the list of suspects grows. With almost no physical evidence and a household determined to reveal nothing, Hastings must read the subtle tells in faces and the dangerous weight of what goes unsaid. A classic puzzle of deduction where the clues are scarce and everyone has something to hide.
