# The Body in the Library Detective Sarah Chen arrived at the old mansion early morning. The victim lay sprawled across the Persian rug, quite dead. His name was Victor Ashford, wealthy and widely despised locally. Sarah counted exactly seven people present in the grand foyer. Each suspect wore an expression mixing shock with guilty fear. The butler discovered the body at precisely six o'clock. Nobody had left the house since the dinner party. The storm outside had knocked down trees and power. Sarah's notebook lay ready as she began her investigation. One of these seven people had committed this terrible crime.
