If you let a mystery writer loose with the lyrics of a Christmas song, you might end up singing something like this:
On the first day of Christmas, my mystery gave to me, crime scene tape strung on my Christmas tree.
On the second day of Christmas, my mystery gave to me, two inheritance fights, and some crime scene tape strung on my Christmas tree.
On the third day of Christmas, my mystery gave to me, three funny sidekicks, two money fights, and that yellow tape up on my Christmas tree.
