Great detectives needed!

A mystery is waiting to be solved in

St Agnes

This morning, renowned paranormal investigator Claire Voyant was found slumped just a stone's throw away from the site of Polbreen Mine, leaving locals in shock. To make matters worse, Claire's partner, Paul Tergeist, is spreading ominous rumours that this must be the vicious work of the resident ghost, Dorcas! That can't be right - after all, Dorcas saved miners' lives in the past, so why would she cause Claire's demise now? It's more likely to be the handiwork of a jealous rival…or maybe Claire was silenced before she stumbled upon a village secret! In-spectre Em T. Tombs is certain someone in the land of the living is to blame, but she's too spooked to inspect the area herself. She needs a squad of brave Detectives (YOU!) to whittle down the list of evidence and suspects and reveal 'whodunnit'. Can you crack this creepy case and clear Dorcas' name?
