"Very good. I liked the twist at the end. I wasn't expecting it, even though there was some foreshadowing with the refrence to death leading man to violence. Why is it called Still Unsolved though? By the end of the story you know who killed the woman. If it's still unsolved, I'll call Robert Stack." -- Steven.
"Only the reader knows the truth. To the rest of the world, the case is still unsolved." -- Richard.
"Robert Stack is dead." -- Mary.
"fun" -- Anns.
