And the Murderer Is…
26.46$
The stars are out for Hollywood’s biggest night—the Silver Planet awards. A group of presenters have gathered backstage in the Green Room. There is an uncomfortable atmosphere, both because of a strange nervousness and because many of the presenters hate each other.
Suddenly, there is a shout from the hallway. The body of Bruto Camera, the pushiest and most obnoxious of the Hollywood photographers, has been found. Who killed him? It could be any of the presenters… and it’s up to you to help the Detective to figure it out!
