Des Moines M**der Mystery: Death in the Shadows

You know the old saying “The boyfriend did it...”?

On an ill-fated night, love goes terribly wrong for Bella Wanderlust and Walter Bridges. Bella, the famous travel blogger, was found dead during a ghost tour led by the theatrical Percy Shadows. Now, since you're Iowa's best detective, it’s up to you to dig out the truth and catch the murderer:

• Was it Walter, the obsessed boyfriend?

• Was it Percy, the ghost tour guide with a flair for the dramatic?

• Or was it someone else hiding in the shadows?

Explore the streets, collect the clues, interrogate the suspects, decipher hidden messages, and piece together the evidence. Can you do it, Detective? Or will you end up the next victim?
