Meine Damen und Herren,

Please help join me in a hearty round of applause for Herr Heimlich VonVictor, who's Scripted Mystery, The Executioner's End, is now debuting on the colourful streets of London to rave reviews.

"""
Baron Rudolph Schmidt has died and his will has left someone very unhappy - or perhaps it's just the executor of estate they don't care for. Which is it? Better find out fast, because you might be next...
"""

As Paranoid Android declared in his editor's notes: this mystery is an Opus. It's about 20% longer than Lucian Ty's Sealed Fate, the longest scripted mystery to date. It also contains several tricky uses of twists and questions, and will probably keep a few of you confounded for a while.

While you're standing, let's have another round for Paranoid Android and Anikka. Their stamina for mystery editing is astounding. Bravo!

Executioner's End is now a Featured Mystery in London. It is a Stupendously Hard mystery.

Loved it. Despite the length, it was brilliant and written like a published novel. Interestingly enough, I didn't have to guess, because the clues and evidence all pointed to where I thought it would point.

Anyways, wonderful job Heimlich.

I spent several hours reading and playing this excellent detective story (like Fede said, it's more like a novel than a usual SM) and loved every minute of it. Great job, Heimlich!

I spent the better part of 3 days doing this... Played it 5 times... FIVE times... *sigh* I finally got it, not sure what I was missing... except the end the first time... but after that, WOW... then it finally dawned on me... I was missing what was sitting there staring at me in the face.

Great SM Hemilich.

Although, I've only played a few scripted mysteries, this has been far the best one. I was able to solve the crime on my 3rd try and was impressed with the barrel of details given to really confuse me. Keep more like these coming!

I solved all scripted mysteries (The Executor End; last one). Heimlich's scripted mystery is the best ! Two thumbs up for him.

I was able to slove this on my 1st try.... more patient until found 1 person without motive :)) Then, I send PM to Heimlich "why I can't find the motive" and let him now about my 2 suspected

Can't wait for reply, I take my chance... Case closed!

Again, TWO THUMBS UP FOR HEIMLICH !

Hey guys, thanks for all the positive feedback and compliments :) They mean a lot to me. I'd just like to let everyone know before playing this mystery that if you've never played a featured mystery before, there are a few things you should know:

Real Alibi does not automatically mean innocent
Fake Alibi + Physical Evidence does not automatically mean guilty
Fake Alibi + Witness Evidence does not automatically mean guilty

Story driven evidence, Witness Evidence, and an undeniable conclusion usually mean guilty.

That being said, please enjoy The Executor's End. I'm told if you listen closely you can hear the six months of my life that I spent on it whistling in the breeze ;)
