The Characters

Ginevra Albrizzi (The Victim)

Wealthy, enigmatic, and perpetually shrouded in scandal, Ginevra Albrizzi was no stranger to the macabre. After her husband’s sudden and suspicious death, she inherited Albrizzi Manor along with a fortune that many believed was tainted by blood money. Though beautiful and charismatic, Ginevra was known for keeping secrets—secrets that may have finally caught up with her. Rumors suggested she was investigating something sinister, her paranoia growing in the days before her murder. Her fascination with the occult, her manipulative charm, and her tendency to play people against one another ensured that nearly every guest at her dinner party had a reason to want her dead.

 

The Suspects

Jack (Jack the Ripper)

A respected doctor by day and a notorious killer by night, Jack moved through society as a phantom of terror. His presence at Ginevra’s party was no accident—he had once marked her as a victim, only for her to slip through his grasp. The guests knew exactly who he was, but fear turned to fascination, and his invitation was almost an honor. He was composed, almost amused, watching the others unravel while he remained a looming threat. Could he have returned to finish what he started all those years ago?

Lilith (The Seductress)

Lilith was a vision of gothic beauty, draped in black lace and shadows. A dancer by trade and a mystery by nature, she used her allure to bend men to her will. Beneath her porcelain exterior, however, lay an unsettling darkness—one that many believed was fueled by jealousy and spite. Whispers in the city suggested she was Ginevra’s long-lost sister, though neither woman ever acknowledged the claim. If true, the inheritance that passed solely to Ginevra could have provided a deadly motive. Lilith was always surrounded by admirers, but her true intentions remained as elusive as the night itself.

Samantha & Nicole (Cinnamon & Spice)

Twins bound by blood and business, Samantha and Nicole ran a thriving tea shop in London. Beautiful and composed, they were experts at blending poisons as easily as they blended flavors. Ginevra had been a regular patron, but her habit of leaving debts unpaid and meddling in Samantha’s romantic affairs had made her an enemy. With their eerie synchronicity and cold precision, were these two more dangerous than they seemed?

Dominic (The Drifter)

A charming American with a traveler’s heart, Dominic appeared harmless enough. He had only just met Ginevra at a train station, and yet, she had invited him into her world. Little did she know, he was a predator in disguise. A serial killer on the run from Los Angeles, Dominic was no stranger to murder. However, Ginevra was far from an easy mark—had she discovered his secret before he had a chance to silence her?

Nahomy (The Betrayed)

Nahomy had known Ginevra since childhood. Once friends, their relationship soured when Ginevra repeatedly stole Nahomy’s boyfriends for sport. Years later, Nahomy had reinvented herself—a striking woman with secrets of her own. She had killed before, though that had been an accident. Or had it? If old wounds had festered into rage, perhaps Ginevra’s fate was sealed long before the dinner party began.

Griselda (The Fortune Teller)

Griselda was timeless, her beauty a relic of another age. With a knowing gaze and whispered prophecies, she arrived uninvited, claiming the spirits had drawn her to the manor. Some dismissed her as a charlatan, while others feared she was something far worse. She had a habit of collecting souls—always starting with men, but not exclusively. Did Ginevra cross her in some way? Or had the young widow made the fatal mistake of asking Griselda for a glimpse into her future?

Michelle (The Ghost)

Two years ago, Michelle had died. Tonight, she was very much present. To those who saw her, she was flesh and bone, but the truth was far more chilling. She had been murdered in this very mansion—perhaps by Ginevra herself. Was she back to exact revenge, or was she merely an echo of the past, guiding the guests toward the truth?

Paul (The Tycoon)

A wealthy industrialist with blood on his hands—though not always his own. Paul had been working with Ginevra on a lucrative business deal until she began to pull out unexpectedly. Men had died because of Paul’s greed before, and he had no qualms about ensuring his fortune remained intact. Could Ginevra’s change of heart have cost her more than just a business partner?

Destiny (The Bartender)

A former hairdresser turned bartender, Destiny knew how to make herself useful to those with power. She had once worked for Ginevra, witnessing firsthand the manipulations and betrayals that defined the young widow’s world. Destiny had no known motive for murder, but was there something deeper beneath her polished exterior?
