"Wait a minute, this isn't Albatross!"

Nice guess.

This mystery has nothing to do with money owed to crooks. Or to anyone for that matter.

Thank you, that shows good character.

Not that ludicrous when other cards are considered, but no.

Ooh, first ice knifing of the new session.

But no.

Are the shoes the direct “cause of death”, i.e. she tripped and fell on the upturned heel/spike?

There was a bomb planted in her old shoes. If she hadn’t bought new shoes, she would have worn the old ones, and discovered it. As she didnt. KABOOM!

Was she murdered?

No, while they are directly tied up in the reason for her dying the shoes don’t actually kill her.

Nein.

shoes are a red herring - its the shop that is the thing here.

she goes into a shop to buy some shoe, she recognises the shopkeeper as someone she knew from the past - ‘BRIAN’

brain is all like, ‘oh no! you must be mistaken’ but she is sure it is him

‘brian’ is a spy who is undercover on a very important shoe related mission - he lets MI6 or whoever know that his cover has been blown!!!

M16 decides to TAKE MARY OUT!

later that evening while she is waiting for a bus a sniper shoots her from the top of a skyscraper POP POP POP!

blood all over the new shoes

Ah, a proper investigator.

No, she wasn’t.

shop assistant tied her laces together because she’s a racist, tripped over, fell out of the window, landed on an upturned ice knife

The shoes are not a red herring.

Were the new shoes for herself?

Yes

She looked great in them.

So great that you might say she was DRESSED TO KILL (herself)?
