KYD Green Round: Crime Scene Card Guess - Team MbD / Lillelara / TA:

Maycomb County Courthouse: the crime scene that would fit most obviously with our game's murderer (and unlike her own characters as victims, it's not off limits to her per se).

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is genre YA and features two characters who are fathers -- Mr. Weasley and Mr. Diggory (plus an honorary third one, Sirius Black). In addition, Hermione embarks on a campaign of "justice for house elves."

My guess for this round is for COD: Shot with an Arrow and the book is Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions.

Finally got the chance to finish a book so I can make a guess. I am shooting for the last crime scene and my guess is

The book I read was The Finest Hours by Casey Sherman and Michael J. Tougias and the book is set in 1952.

KYD Green Round: Crime Scene Card Guess - Team MbD / Lillelara / TA

Robert Harris's Imperium has white lettering (and the lower part of the cover is black). In addition, the holders of Ancient Rome's public offices -- including this book's protagonist, Marcus Tullius Cicero -- had to organize a variety of games to entertain the citizens, so the words "game" and "games" appear repeatedly throughout the text.

#82 by: Lillelara date: 7 years ago discussions stats

My guess for crime scene (submitted for team MbD / TA / Lillelara):
