Again, stumped on a Red one. Can't believe this. My first thoughts were that it was the gardener because you don't plant seeds, you generally sow them. But no its wrong. Then I thought it was the Butler as maybe you don't polish silver, you polish brass, and perhaps do something else to silver.

Any help please?

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

It's to do with the timeframe in which the murder occurred...



If that's no help, PM/email me
Woowoo!
