Rookwater House
Suspicion is
not proof.

And the question of what the evidence really tells us.

The case
The past
is not settled.
Eight years after Elena Sayer's death, her case is reopened. The conviction of her partner Elliot Hales has been overturned, but the questions remain.
When author Miriam Holling brings those involved back to Rookwater House for new interviews, you begin to revisit the events as Detective Carter.
Conduct interviews, examine photographs and documents, and record your findings in the case file. A convincing story is not the same as a proven truth.
Connect the evidence.
Examine documents and photographs. Bring statements and relevant sources together into a reasoned argument.
Investigate your way.
Choose Normal mode with guiding questions, or Detective mode for more independent reasoning. The story stays the same.
