Mystery Man

The Mystery Man is back! And more devious than ever...

The Mystery Man (who could also be a woman, it's a mystery after all) has kidnapped eight characters from the stories of Agatha Christie. Trouble is, we don't know who he's kidnapped!

In an email to the official Christie Community, the Mystery Man has revealed that beginning Thursday, July 7th 2011, he will allow one character per week the chance to speak.

And this is the place to put your theories and ideas to the Christie community, or just to browse to catch-up on all the latest events should you not want to use Twitter to follow the game. 

Victim 1

Whatever you do, do not name the character in the forum, it will ruin the game for other players! Though feel free to help others along, just don't make it too easy for them. Anyone guilty of making it too easy will find themselves bumped off! (and banned from entering the competition).

All four messages from Victim 1 have now been released, they were:

"Was the child buried behind the fireplace?"

"So nice to be willed art-work"

"I’m writing a book on Mogul architecture"

"I witnessed two girls having a cat-fight"

Finally made it. I read the novel some time ago, and the clue abour Mogul architecture really helped. :))

i found  victim 1 easy to find as i only just finished the book

It took me about an hour to find this but finally got it! I had only read one of the three books in which the child behind the fireplace is mentionned and it was not the right one! Took me quite a bit of detective work to finally find what I had been looking for... Now all that is left is to read the two other books mentioning the fireplace "incident". Ordering them right now from my library! :oD

Uf! Finally I got it!

I love this book, but it looks that I don't remember much of it :-) I will have to read it again.

Rea_Potter 14 Jul 11 at 9:40 a.m. GMT

anywyay, i can't stop thinking of ways to narrow us down towards the end.. well, i guess i'll just have to wait and see!

Pat, you make it sound like we are all in "And then there were none" lol!

Should be a fun road ahead.  Can't wait for victim number 2 because then we can start looking for some sort of connection between victims.

Pat_september 13 Jul 11 at 6:41 p.m. GMT

i have a feeling that the first victim was easy to find in order to lure us all into the game - like we even needed to be allured :) i thought this game will never going to start again!

Some good clues here by Moderator 2!

Can't wait for Victim No. 2 - very blood- thirsty..

JenCal 12 Jul 11 at 6:59 p.m. GMT

Wow! I finally got the first victim.

As others have said, make sure you spell the victim's name with a capital.  Best of luck everyone!

Congratulations! but I don'tthink the link is case sensitive - i've spelled the name both ways (with and with-out capital) and both ways it opened the correct page.

Hi Pat...you are right, I tried it again and now it doesn't seem case sensitive..although the first time I tried it I would have sworn it only worked with a capital letter......lol....
