Medical Examiners Challenge 2025

 

Medical Examiner's Challenge

Hosted By: Rick Mills @ Mistillery

Official Challenge/Reporting Page

Dates: Jan. 1 - Dec. 31 2025

Summary of Rules/Details:

Read a murder mystery. Note the number of named victims.  Report them on a "Death Certificate".  You get a "Toe Tag" for each victim. 

WARNING ~ SPOILER ALERT:  Since I don't like knowing who will die before I finish reading a book, I have considered others like me, and I have not included the victim names.  However, these could still be considered spoiler alerts, so READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
If you want a list of what I came up with for each book, feel free to comment or send me a message and I'll be happy to give it to you.
