“There are four kinds of homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy.”
Some soap
tea
rope
you
choke
haggis
natal plums
insurance
nectarine
eggs,
the plot thickens.

Ha! Very clever! I love a good murder mystery. But poor, warm-reekin’ haggis, to be equated with strychnine, for shame! 🙂
