What's the Mystery Here?
Madness seems to run in the King family.
First there’s Uncle George who can’t be trusted near water.
George's sister-in-law Judith fell in the canal with him.
As did Kate's daughter, Lois.
Kate's son Kenny stayed dry. He's one of the sensible ones.
Kate's ex-husband is Bernie who seems a little trigger happy.
Their neighbour Jenny gets worried by the gunshots.
Kate herself just about managed to remain unhinged.
Inspector Ben Cleveleys is called round, hoping to calm things down, but there's water dripping through the ceiling.
And a dead body has been found in (somewhat ironically) the living room.
