We all know what it’s like having your ex-boyfriend drop dead of poisoning in your family’s restaurant, and you suddenly become the main suspect. Super awkward, right?
And look, I get it. You bake cookies, or groom pets, or run a tea shop, or maybe make minimum wage as a restaurant server or library worker. You’re not exactly qualified to conduct a murder investigation. But what’s the alternative? Let the cops handle it? Not if you actually want to stay out of prison! So you decide to put on your amateur sleuthing cap and set out to catch that killer and clear your name. Totally reasonable.
