The Case of the Halloween Heist

~ A2 English Detective Quest ~
Halloween Mansion

The Halloween Night Mystery

It was Halloween night at Blackwood Manor. Lord Blackwood, a rich collector of rare gems, was having a costume party. All the guests wore masks and costumes. Nobody could see their real faces!

The most valuable item in Lord Blackwood's collection was the "Devil's Eye" — a red ruby shaped like a pumpkin. It was worth 3 million pounds! Lord Blackwood kept it in a special case in the Ball Room.

At midnight, during the costume contest, the lights went out. Everyone screamed! When the lights came back on one minute later, the Devil's Eye was gone! The glass case was open, but there were no fingerprints.

The police arrived quickly, but all the guests had already put on their masks again. Someone at the party was the thief! There are four suspects:

The Ghost
