Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.

I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. These are arrangements, which means instead of word-for-word readings, you get a performance meant to be heard. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.

This is Season 7, Games People Play. Games are about competition conducted according to rules with participants working toward a goal. Games are a part of every culture and are one of the oldest forms of social interaction and engagement. Games can be fun, challenging and exhilarating. They can also be intense, cutthroat, and lethal. This season, our authors have fashioned deadly games and unscrupulous villains to test your detection skills.

This is Episode 4, that classic Scrabble is the featured game. This is Hard Scrabble by KM Rockwood

PRE-ROLL

Hi everyone TG Wolff here. You are about to hear a story from KM Rockwood. She\\u2019s an awesome storyteller whose stories never quite go where you expect.

Rose, who gave \\u201cAbduction and Lies\\u201d a 5-star review on Amazon said \\u201cThis book is written with the same dark realism as the others in the series. By the end of the book, Jesse\'s current issues are solved and I breathe a sigh of relief. Until the next time. You are never going to meet a more likeable protagonist than Jesse Damon. Or one who gets into more trouble. Or one you will worry about more.\\u201d

DELIBERATION

Here we are at the deliberation of another Mysteries to Die For ad free episode. In exchange for not assuming you need a virtual therapist, support our authors by checking out their backlists and picking up a title. This week is KM Rockwood. Now\\u2026

Misha Soleby-Welkins is getting some kind of education working at the senior center. To pass here dissertation, she\\u2019s going to need an answer to what happened to Mr. Davidson. Here are her suspects, I mean clients, in the order we met them:

\\u2022\\tHenry, the Scrabble rebel who uses a crutch

\\u2022\\tLeonard, the other Scrabble rebel who walks unaided

\\u2022\\tCorina, the flatulent woman who uses a walker

\\u2022\\tSimon, the perpetually hungry man who uses a wheelchair

\\u2022\\tMargaret, the group\\u2019s heart and voice of reason

\\u2022\\tMr. Parsons, the hottie who is the backup manager for Mr. Davison

Here are the facts Misha is working with:

\\u2022\\tDavidson micromanaged, berated, and even injured the center\\u2019s clients, driving himself to a migraine. He leaves before lunch, walking toward his home on the other side of the tracks. Mr. Parson discovers the body some time later. It had been severed by the train.

\\u2022\\tSimon rolled his wheelchair outside before Davidson left for a quiet place to each the muffins Misha snuck to him. Margaret went and brought him back in to avoid Davidson catching him.

\\u2022\\tHenry goes outside for a cigarette while Misha and others prepare lunch. Margaret goes out to get him when lunch is ready.

\\u2022\\tAfter a mystery lunch, Corina goes outside to spare her friends her flatulent side effects. Leonard takes the lunch trash outside.

\\u2022\\tWhen Misha starts the Scrabble game, Leonard is unaccounted for. He hurries in, looking for Mr. Parsons who has not arrived.

\\u2022\\tLeonard thought he saw Mr. Parsons\\u2019s car when he took the garbage out. Margaret says he is mistaken. Mr. Parsons and his car are stuck on the other side of the train.

Who should Misha pen as a silver killer and, for bonus points, what...'
