From BoardGameGeek

MURDER OF A MUSICIAN A murder has been committed in London's famous Monastery Road Studios. Renowned saxophonist and songwriter, Roland “Stubby” Hackett, died during a recording session due to an allergic reaction, but initial forensic investigations have brought up clues to suspect foul play is at hand. The evidence has been collected for you, and it's your job to piece it all together and work out who it was that killed Stubby. Eliminate as many of the suspects as possible, so that we can find the killer (or killers) and bring them to justice. 26 PIECES OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE - Inside the case file, you'll find magazine articles, crime scene investigation documents, suspect statements, a parking ticket, police reports, 7" record sleeve, a loyalty card, phone/text records, a coroners report, a map, photographs and more. SEARCH THROUGH A POLICE WEBMAIL - In addition to the physical evidence supplied inside of the box, you'll need to access an online police officer's webmail to prove the suspects innocent or guilty - but it's not easy...you'll need to be a smart investigator to gain access! You will be required to access the internet to view other important evidence linked to the case. A difficulty rating of 4.5/5 this "whodunnit" style thriller.
