Mystery Plot Summary
Lights Out: The Murder of Horace Graves, Lighthouse Keeper
You’re returning to town aboard the Perdido Queen Riverboat in Mobile, AL, the water still rippling behind you after a chilling discovery—a disturbing scene at the lighthouse that looms off the coast. What began as a cheerful trip to celebrate the retirement of its long-time keeper ended in shock. His body was found lifeless in that remote outpost, a place he had called home for fifty years.
The eerie part? He was seen alive just hours earlier, strolling through town to buy supplies. Those who saw him recall heated arguments with a few townsfolk, but no one thought much of it—he was known to be a cantankerous, quarrelsome man.
But now, the question hangs heavy: Who would kill the lighthouse keeper? Who would take a boat, row out to that desolate island, and commit such a cold-blooded act, only to leave the body there for partygoers to discover later in the day? The crime feels deliberate, the intent unmistakable. Someone wanted to send a message—not just to the man himself but to the entire town of Murder Creek.
Put on your detective hat. Your job will be to sort through the evidence, motives, and alibis to figure out who is telling the truth and who is lying. But don’t forget to build your own alibi—because in Murder Creek, everyone is guilty until proven innocent.
