Once again the Scotland Yard trio, this time in a novel! And again the case of the locked-room mystery.

In the elegant Cranston Hotel, the body of Miss Tara Miller is found. However, the circumstances of the apparent murder are very enigmatic: the killer, apparently, did not enter the victim's room through the door or window or through any secret access. Furthermore, the criminal managed to disappear without being seen at all. The Scotland Yard trio must face an unprecedented and extremely mysterious case, and must be fast enough to catch the murderer before he kills his next victims.

ALL IN THE MIND by RandomKaahani

Featured by @AmbassadorIN .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. Investigation Room 1 : "I was angry at him and I had had enough of him that night. He himself invited his death." He scoffed, muttering incoherent stuff under his breath Investigation Room 2 : "A man like him deserved to die. Evils like him deserve incidents worse than death." He shrugged without any trace of guilt. Investigation Room 3 : "I didn't really want to do it. It just kinda happened." She whispered, her eyes busy boring holes in the floor "I killed him!" All of them, amusingly, muttered the same thing, sitting rooms apart from each other. One murder, three suspects, three confessions with three versions of the truth.
