Fortunately we have a team of little old lady detectives on the case... and they're pretty sure it wasn't an accident at all. (The harpoon stuck in his back is a pretty big clue.)</p><p><br></p><p>This week we're playing a game of Brindlewood Bay, a cozy mystery with a few dark twists. Elizabeth Harper is running this game, along with some excellent role-players on the team who have taken well to mystery solving. Here is our party of little old ladies:</p><ul><li>Joan as Louisa, resident gardener who loves getting her hands dirty and has seen absolutely every episode of MacGyver. Always carries her Swiss Army knife (the TSA hates her).</li><li>Matt as Ludmilla, an ex-powerlifter who has retired to a peaceful life inBrindlewood Bay. She keeps an indeterminate number of cats (and is never seen anywhere without at least one of them).</li><li>Mitch as Bordy, a collector of all things, who has never seen a bauble she didn't want to add to her collection. She's also been getting mysterious messages on her answering machine lately, but it's probably nothing.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This is the second episode in our three-part game!
