Ink Link- Teen Murder Mystery Inspired by inkBLOT

It was teen murder/mystery night at Russell Memorial Library in Chesapeake, Virginia and teens congregated to solve the mystery at hand. Four fake crime scenes provided clues for the Ink Link, the murder mystery inspired by the novel, inkBLOT by Johnson Naigle, the creative writing team of Nancy Naigle and Phyllis Johnson. Who was the real culprit? The common denominator in all the crime scenes was rat poison and a copy of inkBLOT. At the secretary's desk, the janitor's station, the psychiatrists' office and apartment space and the crazy daughter's room, there was rat poison and a copy of the novel to be found. The victim? A psychiatrist named Ima Gawner. Suspects? The crazy daughter, Matera; her mother, Lilly; Anita Friend- the other psychiatrist, a bystander and the janitor, Klean O'Nuton. The motive- Ima Gawner had told the mother, Lilly that she'd have to send her crazy daughter away to an assylum. Isaiah, one of the attendees, made the correct guess that Lilly had killed the psychiatrist. Word was that she'd done it with a broom, of all things. All three students who placed won free books. Morgan, the oldest winners was awarded a copy of inkBLOT. Ronnie and Tiffany of inkBLOT fame would have been proud. Who knows? Maybe they were watching...
