Clues & Culprits › Rogues’ Gallery › Joan
Joan
Can silence a room by clearing her throat.
Scholar — Knows a lot. Mentions it.
In their own words
“I'll wait until everyone is paying attention.”
“Hands by your sides, please.”
“I have seen every excuse in the book.”
“I shall wait until everyone is paying attention.”— in Victorian London, 1888
Characters’ asides never contain clues. In a case, only their statements count as evidence.
Case record
Joan has stood in 25 lineups so far, as a teacher, a air-traffic controller, a interpreter, a playwright, a chemist, a trainer and more. Whether they were guilty is something you’ll have to prove for yourself.

Track record
In the 24 cases old enough to have a published walkthrough, Joan turned out to be a criminal 9 times and innocent 15 times. Roughly what you would expect by chance: a past record is never evidence in Clues & Culprits. Today’s and yesterday’s cases are left out so nothing is spoiled.
