Can you solve the case called "Love Writes a Deadly Verse"? Here's the scenario: Love is in the air at the Valentine's Day meeting of The Poets Turntable as this group of amateur and professional writers focuses on amore, liebe - yes, LOVE. Romance abounds when each member rises, in turn, to thrill the audience with similes, metaphors and word pictures that make even the coldest hearts beat faster. But, in the midst of this memorable assemblage, one of the poets staggers to the podium, and, after uttering a few cryptic words, is overtaken by death. Someone has done in a fellow Turntable member in the midst of one of the year's most sentimental events. It's time for poetic justice as everyone gathers to investigate the death and to find the culprit who turned Valentine's Day into a bad rhyme. The suspects . . . Harriet Heartly - President of The Poets Turntable. She co-founded the organization ten years ago with Wilma Woolly. Perry Sharpe - The president and owner of Sharpe Letter Openers. He's thinking of selling the business to seek his fame as a full-time poet. Wilma Woolly - Knitter and sweater designer. Her elaborate sweaters are sold to tourists for top dollar. She includes a personalized poem in every sale. Seymour Lee - The owner of Won Tun Tree's, the most popular Cantonese restaurant in the city. He's been known to recite his poetry to customers between courses. Rose Prettel - Florist and flower expert. Her verse has a certain air about it. Some people would call it an odor. Ben Tameter - The poet laureate of the state. He was appointed by the governor to write verse and rhymes for official events. Jonah Sweeps - The custodian at City Hall. He has access to all sorts of official records when no one else is around. He has a lot of material for his poetry. Sue P. Cooper - The owner and head baker at The Arrow Bakery. She has all of the ingredients to become a noteworthy poet. Sherry Yujest - A budding comedienne. Her works take a humorous look at life and love among the people she knows.
