# The Body in the Library The morning fog clung to Blackwood Manor like a shroud as Detective Sarah Chen arrived. Lady Margaret's body lay motionless across the mahogany desk in her private study downstairs. Her silk nightgown was torn and blood stained the Persian rug beneath her still form. The butler had discovered her at half past seven while opening the curtains for daylight. Every window and door in the study had been locked from the inside when found. Sarah's eyes narrowed as she examined the room, counting five suspects in the drawing room. Someone in this house had committed murder, and the killer was undoubtedly still here somewhere. The storm last night had blocked the only road out, trapping everyone within these stone walls.
