In the core of an active city, Detective Clara Winters had been called to a dwelling regarding a missing legacy. The necklace, considered to be of extreme value by the Thompson family, had disappeared from the premises a few days ago, during an extravagant celebration. It was this atmosphere that Clara arrived and started looking around. She spoke to the visitors, and even spotted the Host at odds with a more remote cousin. Alice knew immediately that there had to be a valid explanation for such uncharacteristic behavior. She was right – there was such a motive, it was called envy for the family wealth. The detective found the necklace in the cousin’s jacket pocket, hence restoring peace between the family members. However, swirling whispers of thanks warmed her as she stepped into the night.
