The Locked Greenhouse Note

6 min

Head curator Mira Osei discovered the orchid thief left a taunting note inside the locked greenhouse at dawn. The note was written in a simple cipher, and four suspects each have a known habit of encoding messages. Investigators must decode the note and match it to its author.

The scene

A Victorian botanical garden where a rare orchid has gone missing overnight. A folded note was found pinned to the empty display case.
