Just wondering Ben, r all the suspects in Sleuth the first name of mystery authors? cause agatha could be 4 agatha christie and i was wondering if the others were ur favorite mystery authors (or least favorite)

I think some are and some aren't. Maybe those names are just fixed and Ben changes them sometimes.

I think Ben used a database with names, from somewhere on the internet. I don't know of an author named Sunny....just the wife of Ben.

I thought also that the names were supposed to be in keeping with the time period of the game. Hence the lack of Jennifers and Ryans.

i do not know i just had a william williams in 2 consecurive cases ban may be running out of names

They're random! That was just a coincidence. I also like Martin Martin.

yes i know they are random i was just surprised it happened in back to back cases

Maybe Ben uses the names of some of the characters in the recent mystery novels he reads.
