Knotty Business at Seal Cove

Case 8 · Easy

Bunting fluttered and sawdust flew at Seal Cove Boatyard, where a brand-new fishing boat was ready to slide down the slipway into Gullhaven harbor. Mrs. Jephcott, the boatyard's owner, had built boats there for thirty years and never missed a launch. Biscuit barked at the tide, which paid no attention. Mrs. Jephcott was found dead, with the coil of rope lying nearby. Whoever had the coil of rope did it.

Who killed Mrs. Jephcott?
