The story so far
Everything you need before watchingOn the porch, the local detective reconstructs the birthday night like a clock. The stairs to Harlan's rooms creak horribly, and Linda is a light sleeper, so every trip left a timestamp: Joni checking a thud upstairs, Marta driving off at midnight, Harlan coming down for a snack. The alibis lock together. Officially, it is suicide. Blanc hears the neat story, then cuts it open: people lie, and physical evidence can speak with a forked tongue.
