Alibi Check 7 & 8
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.

This shows the full answer. Sure?
Yes, show me
Uncle Ray. Someone who walked in ten seconds ago can’t have a half-drunk mug of tea that is still steaming. Ray has been home long enough to make tea, drink half of it and open your door for Biscuit.
Alibi 8 · The Note on the Door
1NudgeOpen
What was the note written with?
Cousin Mia’s story holds up. Nothing in it is impossible.
2CloserOpen
It isn’t Mrs. Park either. Read Sam’s statement again, word by word.
3AnswerAsks twice
This shows the full answer. Sure?
Yes, show me
Sam. The note was written in pencil, and pencil doesn’t run in the rain the way ink does. It was perfectly readable. Sam didn’t need to read it: he wrote it.
Every answer is also printed at the back of the book, with its page number.
