Welcome, sleuth, to tonight's case.
Tonight we travel to Paris in the late nineteenth century. Montmartre glows beneath the lamps of the Moulin Rouge, where music, laughter, and spectacle draw artists, aristocrats, and curious visitors into the long nights of the Belle Époque.
Behind the red-painted windmill lies a world of dancers, painters, patrons, and quiet ambition, where admiration can carry many meanings. Some remain harmless, while others slowly turn into something far more dangerous.
And one fateful night, dreams and promises are shattered when a body is discovered beneath the flickering gas lamps of Montmartre.
Are you ready to catch the culprit?

How to Play Along
As you listen, keep your ears sharp for clues- things people say, things they don't say, suspicious objects, and strange coincidences. I'll introduce you to the suspects, take you through the key locations, and walk you step-by-step through the events leading to the death.
Your mission? Decide who caused the death and why. You can jot down notes as we go, a scrap of paper will do.
But beware, there will be red herrings lurking in the shadows, ready to throw you off the scent.
When we reach the end, I'll give you a moment to lock in your guess... before revealing the truth.
Think you can outwit the culprit? Then let's begin...
