Those Rotten Royals

What began as a celebratory Royal Visit of Louise Caroline Alberta, her husband John Campbell - 9th Duke of Argyll, and their entourage has ended in tragedy. A daring thief has struck, priceless jewels have vanished, a body lies in the corridor, and the entire party has been locked down in a lounge to await questioning.

The Crime:

Outside, a serene winter snowfall blankets the city, masking the bloody reality within. What began as a grand reception for the Duke and Princess Louise Caroline Alberta has unraveled into a nightmare.

It started with a theft: the Royal jewels vanished from the suite, and the police were summoned to investigate. But before the ink could dry on the initial report, the stakes turned deadly - the body of Sir Reginald Astor was discovered lifeless on the ground floor.

With a killer on the loose and the Royal suite declared a crime scene, the high-profile guests have been ushered into lounge for their safety. Now, trapped together in the gilded room, the veneer of politeness is cracking. Fingers are being pointed, accusations are flying, and it is becoming terrifyingly clear that the danger isn't lurking in the shadows outside - it is sitting right there amongst them. Can you decipher the clues and solve the mystery?
