Murder in Margaritaland

2007.08.14
murder!

Coconut Joe surveying his resort.

Coconut Jane (my best friend, Mondi) :)

Jack Daniels, the bartender, more likely to serve up a flirtation than a margarita.

Beware!

At least he died with a smile on his face.

Lifesavin' Sam, the lifegaurd - He can't swim.

The fading Starr Bright, movie star. Is her innocence an act?

Kyle Cocktail (waitress) and Izzie Islander (local girl). Sure they seem like friends!

Lucky Numbers, the lotto winner. Has his luck run out?

Thurston Howard III, bajillionaire. Can he buy his innocence?

Sandy Beachbum, surfer. Did that jellyfish sting drive him to murder?

As the night wore on, the clues revealed themselves.

Starr Bright being questoned by Sgt Lord, police officer, and his beautiful deputy, Bella.

The resort paradise of Margaritaland was rocked by the murder of one its own on Saturday night. Jack Daniels, the casanova bartender, kicked the proverbial bucket just as a poolside banquet was wrapping up. Lifesavin' Sam gave a half-hearted attempt to revive him but he was a goner. The Coconuts, Joe & Jane, cooperated fully with the local authorities, as did their staff. Their guests, which included quite a few famous names, were also detained for questioning.

A little birdie told this intrepid reporter that Jack Daniels philandering ways may have been a motive. However, it is highly likely that his uncanny ability to ferret out secrets from guests who've sipped a bit too much bubbly might have placed his life in jeopardy as well.

The lists of suspects is growing. Topping the list is Starr Bright, the movie star with the floundering career who came to the island to clean up. Is more than her career on the rocks or is that really water she's drinking. Or could it be Kylie Cocktail or Izzie Islander, both of whom have caught the bartenders eye recently? Or maybe the jealous Lucky Numbers who is trying to win Izzie's heart? What about Thurston Howard III, the bajillionaire who's girlfriend was seen flirting with Jack? Last, but certainly not least, we have Sandy Beachbum. Did the surfer off his friend to hide the fact that he's no longer surfing due to his fear of jellyfish?

Luckily, Sgt Lord and his trusty deputy are on the case and are close to solving this murder mystery. Hopefully, I'll have the scoop for you tomorrow!

P.S. Thank you very much for all your comments over the past few days. I can't say it enough how much I appreciate them. :) As does Spike. And Morgan. I never told you but my sister showed her your comments and she was one thrilled 9 year old!

vollenda Thanks! Yes, it was a fun night. It was my first time at a murder mystery party. I was totally caught by surprise when he "died". I guessed wrong on who the murderer was too! Next year, I'll do better.
