The Locked Love Letter
CASE
On Valentine’s morning, a bestselling romance author is found dead in her study.
The room is locked from the inside. A single handwritten love letter rests on her desk:
“Forever yours. I couldn’t live without you.”
Three people had access to the house the night before:
-
Her husband, who says he slept in the guest room
-
Her editor, who dropped off flowers
-
Her assistant, who left early to celebrate Valentine’s Eve
The police notice something odd:
The ink on the love letter is completely dry, but the pen beside it is still uncapped.
PAUSE & THINK
Who killed her, and how?
SOLUTION
π Click to Reveal Solution
The letter was written earlier, not right before death.
Ink dries quickly, but an uncapped pen would also dry out, yet it still works.
Someone staged the letter to look like a suicide.
Only the editor knew her writing habits; she always capped pens immediately.
The editor killed her and locked the room using a spare key, then staged the scene.
