Subject: Minute Mystery!!



Sorry for the delay guys, but here is the answer to the last Minute Mystery:

Detective Renz knew that Princess Elizabeth took the ring because when Renz asked to use the phone, she said it was in the room next to hers, but she said she had to go all the way downstairs to use the phone when she called the police. Also, no one in the whole embassy noticed anything suspicious which led Detective Renz to believe it was an inside job.

I think that was a kinda shady Minute Mystery so I got a better one this time. Enjoy!



There Goes the Neighborhood.



It had snowed during the night, and when Captain Stottlemeyer brought Adrian Monk to the suburban home, a white blanket covered the front yard. Monk inspected a single set of footprints leading from the sidewalk to a flowerpot on a tree stump, then to the victim's front door. There were no other prints in the yard until Monk himself crossed to the stump, lifted the flowerpot, and found the obvious: a key. "The killer knew where they kept the emergency key."

Stottlemeyer had figured that much. He also had a theory. The victim, one Janet Malloy, was in bed with the flu when the killer took the key from under the flowerpot and entered the house. The probable intention had been to steal the victim's coin collection, but Janet had heard a noise, come downstairs, and interrupted the burglar. The result? Murder with a fireplace poker.

"Janet was supposed to be at work," explained Bob Malloy, the grieving husband. "Only she and I have keys, but our neighbors both knew about the emergency key."

The neighbor on the left was Paul Jameson, a compulsively well-organized business consultant. He had been at home all morning. He claimed not to have gone outside until noon, when he left for a meeting, and that he didn't return until after Malloy had discovered the body at 6 p.m.

The neighbor on the right was Gertrude Brown, a homemaker, as slovenly as Jameson was neat. She also claimed to have been at home until noon, when she went out to the grocery store, returning an hour or so later.

"I have a preliminary time of death," Stottlemeyer said. "Between eight and ten a.m."

"And I have a preliminary suspect," countered Monk.

Who does Monk suspect to be the killer and what clue gave the killer away?
