![]() At one point all signs point to Hilary herself. The plot twists and turns, first implicating one employee, then another. The two have only a few hours in which to unravel the increasingly complex set of clues before the police must be called. She is aided by her secretary, a man as resourceful as she. ![]() Thoroughly intrigued, Hilary resolves to solve the crime and present the police with a brilliant fait accompli. The solution to both crimes lies in interpreting the meaning of the Scrabble tiles found in the dead man’s hand. On the opening morning of the Toy Fair, the design for a new toy is stolen, and the preliminary investigation leads to the discovery of the body of the prime suspect. It is with little urging, therefore, that she becomes involved in trying to ferret out the industrial spy who is ruining one of her best clients, Trim Tram Toys. Hilary Quayle is an attractive, young public relations consultant who has long harbored the desire to be a detective. The frantic fun and games atmosphere of New York’s annual Toy Fair is the ironic setting for this tale of murder and industrial intrigue. ![]()

![]() ![]() Despite how awful Minthe has been the entire comic, it was enough for some readers to come to her side. She's so unused to love, that when Hades comforts her she is unable to deal with it and freaks out, begging him to be as awful as she is. Later, when she thinks that Persephone may steal Hades out from under her, her jealousy rears its head as she realizes that she doesn't want Hades to leave her - she actually wants to stay with him, as messed up and dysfunctional as the two of them are. We see her spiral into a panic attack at the thought of having to be Queen, terrified of the pressure and well aware that the Olympians look down on her as just a trashy nymph. In a flashback set just before the start of the webcomic, Minthe finds an engagement ring in Hades' coat pocket while looking for a lighter. ![]()
