Simply take apart this 8.5" X 11" book and you'll have what you need to orchestrate the mystery. Those who aren't suspects help investigate the case. Can you solve the case called "Masked for Murder"? Here's the scenario: Mardi Gras is a festive time - especially in The Big Easy where Krewes of revelers parade through the streets dressed in their unique costumes, throwing keepsakes to the crowds. Each year the Krewe de Tromperie, a troupe made up of amateur and professional entertainers enthrall those stationed along the parade route with costumes mimicking happy and sad theatrical masks. Ruling over the festivities, sitting in a prominent spot on the Krewe's float, is the Tromperie Royale, a masked local celebrity whose identity is revealed at the end of the parade. But, this year, the term "end" had a new meaning, for royalty has its enemies, and murder would make and appearance before the unmasking could occur. Who would camouflage such a foul deed, and what would prompt such an inglorious demise to the royal ruler? Only keen investigative skills and a sharp eye will uncover the nefarious person who was masked for murder. Here are the suspects: "Cool Crawdaddy" Clyde - Jazz musician and Krewe member. He produces a unique sound on his vintage sax, and frequently performs in the streets near Jackson Square. "Silent Sam" Simmons - Street mime and Krewe member. He and Clyde often perform together, earning big tips from the tourists. Lana Lando - Parish clerk of Gallo Parish, adjacent to New Orleans. She handles all transactions, including transfers of titles and proof of ownership. Marigold Flowers - Mardi Gras float designer. She works with many Krewes to create works of art with customized features. Pierre Baguette - Pastry chef and restaurate
