“Sold!” The auctioneer’s gavel fell, echoing in the cavernous room. Emily was practically levitating with glee. The mansion, a magnificent testament to bygone eras, was hers.

The auctioneer, a portly man with a red face, beckoned her over. "Miss… uh… Evans, isn't it? Well, there is a small matter of… well, a previous occupant’s untimely demise."

Emily beamed, her eyes shining with unshed tears of pure exhilaration. "An untimely demise? Please, tell me everything!"

He shifted uncomfortably. "Murder. A wealthy industrialist. Shot in the library." Emily nearly skipped with joy. This was the best investment she’d ever made.
