Later that night, Molly walked into the living room where her Dad was sitting in his chair reading his newspaper and her Mother was on the couch watching television.   “Where’s Billy?”  Molly asked stopping at the entrance to the room.   “He has homework and I am making him do it,” Dad said, turningContinue reading “The Whodunnit Club – Chapter 19 – Fingerprint”

The members of the club looked at each other after the observation about the white sweater.    “Before we start accusing people,” Miss Marvel cautioned them.  “Are there anymore observations?  Okay.  Harold, go to the chalkboard and let’s diagram the crime scene like we did for the dance so Bev can get into our record.”Continue reading “The Whodunnit Club – Chapter 18 – Deductions”

Molly inserted the slides into the wheel of the family’s slide projector one at a time.  She placed the projector on the floor beside her bed and stood up.  She walked over and closed the door to her room and turned off the overhead lights.

“What do you guys think?”  Bev asked the club members.  “Interesting,” Jason said from his seat as he twisted the brush over the top of the handle on the photo club’s money box.   “How so?”  Carol asked as she, too, was twisting a brush over the top of the cooking club’s money box.  Continue reading “The Whodunnit Club – Chapter 12 – More Clues”

Molly could hear Miss Marvel coming down the hall toward Room 101 by the clicking of her shoes on the floor.  She was wearing high heels today, Molly thought, because the sound was clearer and more distinct.  When she entered the room to close the door, Molly glanced down and smiled to herself.  She wasContinue reading “The Whodunnit Club – Chapter 11 – Clues”
