The landlady
• The events take place in Bath
• "Billy Weaver had traveled down from London on the slow afternoon train, with a change
at Reading on the way, and by the time he got to Bath, it was about nine o’clock in the
evening, and the moon was coming up out of a clear starry sky over the houses opposite
the station entrance."
•
It is a suspense story because there are only two people who stayed or lived in the
hotel.
"He found the guest book lying open on the piano, so he took out his pen and wrote
down his name and address."

There were only two other entries above his on the page,
and as one always does with guest books, he started to read them. One was a
Christopher Mulholland from Cardiff. The other was Gregory W. Temple from Bristol.

It is a realistic fiction because the characters are human and they could exist.

It is a mystery because Billy Weaver thinks he has heard of the names Christopher Mulloland
and George W Temple and he is trying to find them out.

"I’m almost positive I’ve heard
those names before somewhere. Isn’t that odd? Maybe it was in the newspapers. They
weren’t famous in any way, were they? I mean famous cricketers7 or footballers or
something like that?”
