Please read the overview and all the descriptions of the suspects before the party. Sometimes we hide clues in these descriptions.
Overview
Tilly Song (a megastar singer) has hired a luxury-plus cruiser to see the Bahamas and have a holiday. She has invited a variety of other famous people along to share the lobster. But just as the party was about to start, Karl Virgil, that mad-man troublemaker, has been found overboard as full of water as he was of his own self-importance.
Was it one of the singers or actors or was it the tennis or the basketball star or one of the others? Although we have more comedians on-board than we do detectives, this is no laughing matter. We have to find out who did it.
The suspects (male and female version – see the female version)
The people present on-board are:
Tilly Song
I’m a soulful singer/songwriter with a voice as pure as the Canadian air I breathed when young. My voice has brought me wealth and fame and I like to share my good fortune with my friends. Dress suggestions: Wear your hair flat, maybe slicked back. Dress in simple, but well-styled clothes. Carry a guitar (or guitar case).
Gerardo Netman
Don’t let my orange hair and tattoos confuse you or I will have the ball in the basket before you’ve have time to say my name. Dress suggestions: Wear orange hair, fake tattoos and basketball clothes. Carry a basketball.
Magnolia Lollipop
I’m a stand-up comedian. As my name indicates, I’m a cross between a perfume and a candy store. Don’t sniff too hard or you’ll eat me. Dress suggestions: Dress as a little girl complete with ribbons in your hair and a lollipop in your mouth.
Gilbert Trueheart
I’m a comedy writer. I write very funny books. Some say I’m crass, outspoken, brutally honest and controversial – a loving force to be reckoned. And I have to agree. Dress suggestions: Wear a dark haired wig. Dress in avant-garde clothes. Add a heart on your sleeve.
Cosmo LuvLuvLuv
When I play tennis with you, don’t try and hit back. Just watch the ball zoom past – if you can see it! Some say I’m brilliant, honest and bold. I say – watch that ball! Dress suggestions: Wear tennis clothes. Carry a racquet. Also add some flashy jewelry.
Eduardo Martini
I’m from Argentina. In the past I sang duets with Tilly, but now I don’t need her help. My dark swarthy looks and showshipie charms have won me my own fame. Dress suggestions: Wear a clingy shirt with some open buttons to show off your chest.
Hertha Haywire
With my own TV talk show, what more could I want besides maybe a bit of peace and quiet? But I like to challenge people so I only have myself to blame for stirring up hornet’s nests. Dress suggestions: Wear a suit (eg a pink one) with a black T-shirt underneath. You are definitely not slim, so you may need to add some padding.
Hercules
As a child in Bolivia I saved my village from raiders. With my newfound sense of power, I went on to become a TV hero. Now I devote myself to fighting for the greater good. Dress suggestions: Dress as a warrior. Carry a sword.
Angelica

Twinkle-fingers
like Elvis I’m back for a visit from the other side complete with my flamboyant outfits, glitter, gold and magic piano playing hands. I wasn’t invited. I am just ghosting around. Dress suggestions: Wear a flamboyant outfit with lots of glitter and add gold chains and lots of rings. Add white powder as you are a ghost.
Shirley Frosty
I’m a serious actor/director/producer with a capital S. I’m also a classy lady. I have had lots of practice; having started in this career aged 3. I prefer to lead a very private life. Dress suggestions: Wear a straight blonde/brown wig. Dress in stylish clothes. Carry a video camera.

The optional authorities
Quincy Spadelow – I’m an inspector working with the Royal Bahamas Police Force. We may have a casual lifestyle here in the Bahamas but we take crime very seriously.

Dress suggestions: Wear tropical gardening clothes with a sun hat and wear gardening gloves when checking out the evidence, etc. Carry a plastic flower with your notebook and pen.

Dress suggestions: Wear a floral shirt, a plain skirt and carry a notebook and pen.
Joan Lowenfelt – I’m a happy doctor with a cozy little practice here in the tropics. Some people think that I eat too many boiled candies. I can’t help it. I’m addicted to them!

I’m thrilled to have gotten a photo of Karl Virgil’s body which should sell well. Dress suggestions: Wear tropical clothes and carry lots of cameras and if possible, one with a very long lens.
The optional witnesses
Jodie Angel – I’m Hertha’s 18 year old daughter and I’m a swimwear model. I’m glad to be on this cruise with my mother because I get to show off all my beautiful swimsuits, but I never get them wet. I don’t actually like going in the water. When the murder happened I was taking part in a ‘Girl in a Swimsuit’ competition on shore and I’m happy to say I won. Dress suggestions: Wear a sarong over a swimsuit or with a colorful midriff top. Add sandals and a flower in your hair.
Jason Freestyle – I’m Tilly’s body guard. I’m quite useful really because I have a life saving certificate and can keep a watch on those who go swimming.

If I had been here when Karl Virgil fell in the sea I could have rescued him, but I was busy on shore taking photographs of a swimsuit competition. Dress suggestions: Wear casual tropical clothes and a baseball cap and sunshades.
Sean Devine – I might be young but I’m the best DJ around. Tilly invited me along on this cruise to entertain everyone when they’re not singing their own songs.

Kelly Weights – I’m a movie actor. I’ve worked with some of these people in various movies. I always end up in scary movies. Some people think it’s because I look like a psychopathic maniac.

If you want you can leave hot rollers in your hair.
Nick Sharp – I’m an old rocker. Our concerts these days are still sellout extravaganzas. My band is more than just a band – it’s a brand as it’s so well-known. I was on shore jamming with some of the Bahama local musicians today. Dress suggestions: Wear a t-shirt of a rock band and tight jeans. Dark glasses. Maybe carry a microphone.
Mary Mountain – I’m a well-known politician. My husband used to be in politics too. I’ve been a very understanding wife but now it’s my time to take the limelight.

No rest for the wicked as they say. Dress suggestions: Dress well and carry something like Royal Doulton china cups and try and sell them to everyone.
Azzi Aria – I’m an opera singer. Even people who have never been to an opera generally know who I am as I have done a few popular CDs with some other opera singers. Italian is my mother tongue.
