The Murder Mystery Tally
by Terri Bacon
Based on the feedback I have received, Love Your Neighbor was a hit. I thought you might like to know what the tally was for the guesses.
The cast did a great job of convincing people they had a good motive, since the votes were quite evenly distributed. Of course, our main red herring, Serenity, got the most votes, but everyone else garnered a fair share. The actual tally was:
Buddy -8; Huey - 8; Emma Jane - 7; Mercy - 9; Daisy - 9
Sissy - 5 (not as many votes for murder, but several believed she really did have a beauty salon in her house!)
Serenity - 19 Two people thought Serenity and Emma Jane did it together.
One said I was an accomplice and therefore equally guilty.
One person said no one killed him. "He wasn't dead. I saw him move."
I thought the most creative vote came from Dana Morrison. I didn't have time to read all the comments before we awarded the prizes or I would have shared this with the group We just quickly looked at the ones that were correct. But Dana said: "Buddy killed Justin to hide that Justin knew that he killed Sissy's sister, who poisoned the cat, laying blame on the gardener who had a love affair with Daisy, who cheated Huey."
