The Duchess's tiara vanished from her own head between the polka and supper, its clasp cut as she danced. Every guest, servant and musician was searched before leaving and the house was turned upside down. The only thing that left unsearched was the ice swan, melting, on its way to the poor.

Victorian London: case 34

This Evil case seats 25 suspects on a 5×5 grid. 20 of them carry a clue; the other 5 only have something to say about themselves. 7 of the steps can only be proven by reading two or more clues together. Case 34 of the free Victorian London case pack. Same rules as every Clues & Culprits case: everyone tells the truth, and only proven verdicts stick.
