Jazz Hands, Wrong Notes and a Rogue Musician in Loughton!

Something strange is echoing around Loughton... and it's not the sweet sound of smooth jazz. Each evening, a mystery musician strikes up with a rhythm so wobbly it could start a feud with a metronome. The tempo lurches, the notes wobble and the whole town is treated to an encore of ear-splitting, off-key chaos. Residents are frazzled, the local cat has packed its bags, and even the experts at the National Jazz Archive are horrified that someone might give jazz a bad name.

DCI Scatman Doowop has had enough. The culprit always disappears before anyone can catch them mid-scat, leaving nothing but complaints and confusion behind. Is it a prank? A musical meltdown? Or someone with a score to settle?

Top detectives (that's YOU!) are needed to gather the clues, rule out suspects and crack this toe-tapping case before the rogue performer strikes up again!
