Grist for the Gossip Mill

Case 60 · Expert

On Grinding Day, the great wheel of the Old Mill turns for visitors and the air goes pleasantly dusty. Mrs. Netherby, the miller's partner, had kept the books for twenty years and was rumored to be selling her share. Ada Quill had heard three versions of that rumor before her second cup of tea. Mrs. Netherby was found dead in the Mill Floor. Only one suspect was in the Mill Floor, and that suspect did it.
