So a few years previously I've become filthy rich by selling masterpieces. In keeping with my "alcoholic" flaw I promptly do nothing but drink for a few decades on end. Eventually: "Cripes, a war!" and I return to my life of drinking. Yes, everything is the same all over again.
Err... found out through repetetive trial and error that Mrs. Popshaw murdered the albide to avenge her husband who was killed by a crazed automaton fueled by green rage supplied by the white sharks. Hope that this info helps others solve the case without the stupid trial and error that I had to practice.
Does anyone know who killed the albide and why? I whizzed through the investigation bits and now when I finally have to tell the inspector who dunnit I keep ending up with "shit detective" in my journal.
