The Raven's Ball Murder Mystery

The dimly lit table is draped in rich, dark fabric, and the flickering candlelight casts eerie shadows as the fortune teller greets you without a smile. He deals the cards, appearing to read your cards as they're dealt to you. You play the game, but it seems to be about the journey of the game more than winning. He hands you a card, which reads: "Beware the scent of death, for it is woody and musty—like that of poison hemlock. Your answer lies in a poisoning of the heart. A poison made of heartbreak."

As you leave the table, you move to the balcony to collect your thoughts. Looking around,  you notice torn pieces of a letter on the marble floor. You move quickly to pick up the pieces before the wind takes them and puzzling the ripped pieces together, you see it’s from Doctor Blackwell to Virginia, Blackwell has written a fiery and intimate letter professing her love and suggesting they run away together. The emotion in the letter is raw, filled with longing and the explosiveness of a new romance.

The fortune and the letter leave you with more questions, but you're a detective, and getting answers is what you do. Maybe it's time to see what Amelia was doing in Poe's office before Peter scared her away. You look into your notes and see that Amelia always carries around a book of poetry and a long feathered quill.
