Can you solve the case called "I Loathe a Parade"? Here's the
scenario: This 4th of July murder mystery takes place in Elmtown, a
community of 12,000 people noted for its annual Independence Day
parade. Mayor Joe Possumz, who's just announced that he'll be
running for his fourth term in the fall elections, is in the
reviewing stand, waving at the parade while wearing his now-famous,
red-white-and-blue bowtie. As the final drum-and-bugle corps passes
by, the mayor bites into a hot dog coated with traditional brown
mustard and topped off with a dark-green dill pickle. When he
finishes the culinary treat, Possumz wipes the perspiration off his
brow, smiles faintly at the crowd and collapses. To the amazement
of those nearby, the local doctor rushes to him, checks for a
pulse, and pronounces him dead. More about the Elmtown parade:
Twelve years ago, when Mayor Possumz was first elected to office,
the Elmtown parade was a ten-minute affair, consisting of four
units and a lot of fire trucks. With the mayor's backing, the
parade has become a holiday extravaganza. The 80-plus units in the
parade now take two hours to pass by the official civic reviewing
stand, strategically positioned in front of City Hall where the
mayor gazes with pride at the event that he has built and nurtured.
But, any politician is only as secure as his last controversial
decision ... and the mayor has made many enemies over the years.
Could one of them have done him in as he was enjoying the latest
version of his most noteworthy accomplishment? The suspects . . .
Rhonda Ripley - Owner of Horsebalm Stables She and her team of
riders have been fixtures in the parade for the last 10 years.
