Medical Examiner's Mystery Reading Challenge 2025

Medical Examiner Reading Challenge text Titles

Welcome to the Medical Examiner's Mystery Reading Challenge for 2025! Your goal as Medical Examiner is to read murder mysteries and attach toe tags to the unfortunate victim(s). Just read the obscure General Information page and then file your death certificate.
M U R M U R S from the M O R G U E :
Sep 6: It's an upset at the top of the chart as JenneB (Pennsylvania) rolls the Gold Gurney away from Tina, for applying the most toe tags (1399)!
Sep 5: Beth M (North Carolina) peeks through the myopic Magenta Magnifier for manipulating 500 toe tags!
Getting the late summer reading challenge doldrums? Here are two things sure to perk you up:
  • September 30 is the last day for the Abra Cadavers baseball game! Check the standings and see if you need to come up to the plate again, before the last inning!

  • October 1 is the first official day for that chaotic Ten Pins bowling game, where you knock down pins with numbers! All reading since January 1 counts, so review your clipboard here and see what numbers you may already have in the bank! All 2024 players have been brought forward, whether they want to or not. (It's like a gym membership). We are having a soft opening - the bowling alley is ready - so feel free to start rolling some balls.

Chief Medical Examiner's journal

Wednesday, September 10 :

"I'm sorry to have been so long in coming," Dr. Curtiss began from the entrance, "especially as it seems something serious."
He broke off suddenly, as he caught sight of the corpse. But he hesitated only for an instant, and once more Gilmore was impressed by his ability to lapse into the customary professional manner.

Milton Propper, writing in The Ticker-Tape Murder, 1930.
