Murder Mystery ATCs

I participated in a swap where you had to create 6 characters and a profile for each that would fit into a murder mystery.  Here are my characters - all rotten to the core.

Desiree Flambeau

Desiree Flambeau a nightclub singer and dancer is the girlfriend of Benny “The Bookie” but is in love with Sam Snoop private eye.  If Benny finds out, Desiree knows that Benny will kill her and Sam.  Tonight is her last show at the El Morocco. After the show she intends to ask Sam to run away with her.  Unfortunately Desiree has a bad habit of choosing the wrong man.

Idelle Chattre

Idelle Chattre is a socialite, compulsive gambler, and in debt to Benny “The Bookie”.  Sam Snoop is blackmailing her over old embarrassing love letters she wrote to Damon Cheeter, but she doesn’t have the money to pay Sam.

Benny “The Bookie”

Benny is fresh out of jail on bail.  Benny’s bookmaking is just a cover for the mob.  Benny’s a much bigger fish as he's the “bag man” and main contact between the mob and dirty politician’s like Damon Cheeter.  Desiree is Benny’s main girl but he’s been known to spend time with Marguerite Ime Amistress.

Damon Cheeter

Damon’s a long-time politician and on the take, he accepts bribes from the mob for awarding them city contracts.  Handsome and rugged looking he’s quite the ladies’ man.  Damon doesn’t care who he steps on to get what he wants.

Marguerite Ime Amistress

Marguerite Ime Amistress boasts that she has only one vice, other women’s husbands.  Damon Cheeter, big city politician is one of her current conquests.  She recently came across some old love letters from Idelle Chatre to Damon and gave them to Sam Snoop.  Sam intends to use the love letters to blackmail Idelle, and promises to kick back 50% of the take to Marguerite.

Sam Snoop

Sam Snoop is a private detective and having an affair with Desiree Flambeau.  He’s looking for info on Benny “The Bookie”.  Sam’s a lone wolf; in his line of work, he can’t afford a serious relationship with a dame.  Private investigation just doesn’t pay much so Sam subsidizes his income with a little blackmail.  Marguerite gave him some racy love letters that he thinks Idelle Chatre will pay to keep private.  Damon Cheeter’s wife thinks her husband has a mistress so she hired Sam to find out.
