The small town of Willowbrook, nestled deep in the English countryside, awoke to the most shocking crime in its history. Police found the body of wealthy businessman James Harrington in his study, a single bullet wound to the chest. Harrington's wife, the beautiful and enigmatic Vivian, discovered the body and called emergency services at 8:47 AM sharp. Detectives from the nearby city arrived promptly at 9:15 AM, led by the seasoned and gruff Detective Jack Thompson. Thompson surveyed the scene, taking in the study's opulent furnishings and the shattered window overlooking the gardens outside. Harrington's loyal butler, Thomas Brown, paced nervously in the hallway, awaiting his chance to give a statement. In the kitchen, the maid, Emma Jenkins, sobbed quietly as she clutched her apron, her eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. Vivian Harrington sat regally in the living room, sipping a cup of tea as if nothing untoward had occurred.
