How can I find out more about Frances's favorite flowers?

  • 1 of 5: The key is in the "green bottle under" clue you got yesterday.
  • 2 of 5: You should find the other half of that clue fairly early in the day.
  • 3 of 5: Start by investigating the scene of last night's crime.
  • 4 of 5: The contents of the green bottle will tell you Frances's favorites, though not what flowers are on them.
  • 5 of 5: That you have to find out by yourself. So get detecting!
