Scream bloody murder

Chris and Jenno stayed up all night last night planning Maddie's 12th birthday party. A murder mystery which the birthday girl had to solve. And the fun was hilarious.

First Rachel was bathed in ketchup. So now we had a dead body. And then detective Maddie was called in to investigate. Everybody who lived in the Beach House was a suspect and there were lots of them. There were clues by the bucket load - a dollar sign written in the victim's own blood or ketchup, a large foot print which pointed to Chris who has the biggest feet and then quite a few red herrings. Maddie grilled every one of the suspects relentlessly. At first it seemed as though Vinnie was the culprit.

But after some fierce deduction he was eliminated along with Chris despite the fact that one of his shoes fit the footprint. And that left only one true murderer. Shock! Horror!  It turned out to be the detective's true life mother Jenno!

And that was the end of the great detective caper and then it was time for cake.
