IR summary...

The beginning of the book starts off by talking about this little village (the place where the crime took place). I think one of the witnesses was Stanley Cribbs. He meets with a reporter for a newspaper(Miss Hatchett)(Goldilocks). She is a reporter for the toad. They begin to talk about cucumber growing and how much of a dangerous pastime it is. Than Mr. Stanely begins talking about his own experiences with the hobby and shows Goldilocks his cucumbers in his greenhouse that may be able to win next time in the contest against Hardy Fuchsia. She took multiple notes on all that Stanley was talking about and left later in the evening. Stanley gets ready for bed and than hears his alarm go off for the cucumbers in his greenhouse and he dials Goldilocks just in case and he notices that there was no false alarm someone planted explosives inside of it. Boom it goes off and stanleys house has only scattered remains left. Houses for miles have cracked and broken windows and the property next door folded like a deck of cards.

It was a set up because he was talking to the reporters and who ever had done that to of shut him up (or kill him) to keep him quiet so, he wouldnt talk no more.
I think Goldilocks is going to get it next.
