Alibi Check 5 & 6

One detail in one statement can’t be true. Each alibi has its own help.

TipOpen one step at a time. The answer always asks twice, so nothing gets spoiled by accident.

Yes, show me

Aunt Lina. Ice cubes poured at noon would have melted long before 4 p.m. in a glass in the sun on the hottest day of the year. Lina has been back to the freezer for fresh ice, and she didn’t only take ice.

Alibi 6 · The Dead Phone

Yes, show me

Cousin Mia. Mia says her phone was dead from lunchtime, then says she checked the time on it at 3:15. One of those can’t be true. (It was the first one: her phone was working fine. The photo has a filter.)

Every answer is also printed at the back of the book, with its page number.
