The Cases of the Restless Redhead and the Missing Suspects

First off, I am not pleased with the new menu at the Game Night Tavern. The word that springs to mind is crap. Measures may need to be taken as there is no way a game king can sustain himself for the rigors of competition with such sustenance. Pastys indeed!

Then, hats off to the new look shelving at the undisclosed location -

as well as to the AV crew for the night's televisual arrangement -

First rate!
The evening's first case:

What a potboiler! First of the immortal TV series to be aired in 1957 and what a way to begin, with a redhead for a client. Here Perry attempts to comfort a distraught Evelyn.

I think it's his sport coat that has set her off. Evelyn, by the way, was played by Whitney Blake, a blonde but certainly no slouch.

Task for the kings was to guess the murderer. Let's see: rich guy and his red headed actress "fiance" or sleazy motel owner and his nagging wife. Not a big list of suspects but still stumped us, except for the Doc who hedged his bets by picking half the list.


Ok, half a point.
Then on to the board game part of the evening, The case of the Missing Suspects.


Play was as lame as the title suggests.


And what, exactly, did this have to do with Perry Mason? Nada. Evil drags in his suspect 1st. Should have been called the Lt. Tragg Game.


How about another redhead?
