Background Information
During a school reunion a scream is heard from one of the classrooms. It's 8:30 pm. A
few minutes later the dead body of Miss Eliza McGowan, a cranky old English teacher, is
found. She has been hit on the head. Also found were a number of items that may lead
us to the killer: a book written by one of her ex-students, Simon Donnelly, a photograph
of one of her fellow teachers, a young man called Saul Sheen, and a handkerchief with
the initials I.W. At the moment these are the three main suspects but everyone who was
at the party and saw or spoke to Miss McGowan needs to be questioned.

Solution
Mr. Green is Saul Sheen's father; he and Miss McGowan had a relationship in college.
Miss McGowan has always kept it a secret but after the last argument with Saul she
plans to tell him the truth. She tells Mr. Green about her plan and they argue. Louise
King overhears them. Mr. Green is furious and it is he who follows Miss McGowan to the
classroom and hits her over the head. He wasn't in his office when everyone heard the
scream, that's why when Saul Sheen knocked on the door he got no answer.
