Hallopalooza Time!
This weekend Jungle Red Writers is delighted to participate in a Hallopalooza, sponsored by The Stiletto Gang. If you're starting here, please go back to the Gang's blogsite to read the beginning of the Halloween mini-mystery. Then you will follow the clues on each of the blogs to solve the mystery at the end for a grand prize. You may also enter comments along the way to win other great prizes! (Right here, win signed books from the Jungle Red Writers!) Good luck and have a spooky good time...
Clue #2: "I was hoping to speak with Mr. Howard before conducting any other interviews." Milla frowned at the petite man wearing a court jester costume. He'd just informed her that G. Winston Howard was otherwise occupied.
She glanced at her notes. He was Walter Jester, possibly the victim's last dance partner. "How well did you know Miss Jordan?"
He shrugged, the tiny bells sewn on his costume tinkling. "Very well. I facilitated her work for Mr. Howard."
"Facilitated?" Milla's pen hovered over the lined page. "You mean your job was to run her errands?"
"Yes." Walter blinked several times. "I didn't mind. It paid well."
She could tell from his tone he was lying; that he had minded. He'd minded very much. "What will you do now?"
He smiled. The bells tinkled again as he answered, "Her job."

this is fun
This is fun, even though it's distracting me from writing my own mystery!
Taking a old quote that seems appropriate, "The games a foot."
Sorry Edith:)
Awesome idea! It's great fun.
Fantastic idea and a Happy Halloween to all!
I feel like Jessica Fletcher!

Oh, boy. I hope I can figure this out. Maybe the Sherlock Holmes costume I'm wearing will help.

Killing billionaires seems to be fashionable this year. That's the theme of our annual party.
This is great fun for the holiday!

Ya know, in real I wouldn't pay so much attention to what the jester said but knowing there are clues ... thanks for participating in such a fun activity!
This is fun looking forward to it. Y'all had a great idea there.
I love the line about rich people using another name for a greenhouse. Conservatory, me thinks. And I want one desperately. I have it planned in my mind: ten foot ferns, trailing vines, blooming orchids, stocked wine cellar, heated spa. Paradise.
This is great fun. Count me in!
In the conservatory with the candlestick by Professor Plum. I figured it out!!
LOL jbh307.......you read my mind!!
What a fabulous way to kill some time. Pun intended!
My thinking cap is on. This is fun.
This was a great idea and alot of fun
I love this idea. It's a great way to get out and see some cool blogs and some good writing. (c:

Hi, my first time here, arrived via the Stiletto Gang -
fun to play along, and I love your grog banner!
The game is afoot..... now that the trick or treaters have gone home...... good luck all!
So much fun, so little time, a killer to hunt down...Can't get any better than this! Thanks for participating in Hallopalooza! Susan
I'm only onto my second clue but enjoying this a lot. This should be an annual thing! Have to say, love that Walter Jester is dressed like a Jester, but he's too obvious to be the killer!

Great Halloween Party. I'm coming as myself, in slacks & sweatshirt.
