Hello, Subscriber
First off, we are having some ezine technical difficulties, so not only do I apologize for The Reaper Reader being distributed late, but also for any ads that might be on this issue. We will be switching ezine providers due to these issues, so I have a favour to ask. Please send me an email at mysterymaiden@shotinthedarkmysteries.com with your email address. I am trying to get my subscriber list, but it is being held hostage, so if you could take just a couple seconds and send me your email address, I would really appreciate it!
I've been to Nicaragua and back again, and had (as always) many adventures, such as flying from jungle tree top to tree top! Here's me doing my best impression of Superwoman!

THE WIZARD OF OZ MYSTERY
Somewhere over the rainbow muder was afoot ...
It was awfully convenient that the tornado picked up Dorothy and the house and deposited her directly upon the Wicked Witch of the East, without anyone else getting hurt. Was it a coincidence or pre-meditated murder? Based more on L. Frank Baum's original book than the Hollywood movie, The Wizard of Oz Mystery reveals the truth - the slippers were made of silver, the flowers that knocked everyone out were actually poppies and Dorothy was not as innocent as she pretended. Everyone has a motive, and it's up to the suspects to figure out who killed the Wicked Witch of the East!

To refresh your memory, this was our last mini-mystery:
A man kills his wife. Many people watch him doing so. Yet no one will ever be able to accuse him of murder. Why?
The answer? That's right - he's a hangman!
You all deserve an easy one, simply for emailing me your email address and attending Murder At The Book Signing (wink wink nudge nudge):
A man walks into his bathroom and shoots himself right between the eyes using a real gun with real bullets. He walks out alive, with no blood anywhere.
How did he do this?

NIGHTMARE IN THE NEWSROOM
Murder is always front page news
It's The Chronicle's 25th anniversary, but that's not all they are celebrating. Editor-in-Chief Barty Barker is retiring from his 25-year career, handing the reins over to Milton Muckler, an outspoken editorialist in the prime of his career. But when Milton Muckler is found dead in the basement production room, those celebrating his success turn into murder suspects. Who killed Milton Muckler, and why are the police taking so long to arrive?

Sleuth Joke
A murder has been committed.
Police are called to an apartment and find a man standing, holding a 5-iron in his hands, looking at the lifeless body of a woman on the ground.
The detective asks, "Sir, is that your wife?"
"Yes."
"Did you hit her with that golf club?"
"Yes. Yes, I did," the man answers. He stifles a sob, drops the club and puts his hands on his head.
"How many times did you hit her?"
"I don't know. Five...six ...put me down for a five."
Have a sleuth joke? Email it to me at mysterymaiden@shotinthedarkmysteries.com for an entry into our monthly draw! You could win the Shot In The Dark Mystery Game of your choice!
