Ella has been in Keystone for several weeks. There is a party at the Keystone Inn, in honor of the mayorial candidates. It has a 1920s murder-mystery game for the theme (don’t ask me why). Of course, soon Ella discovers Charles, one of the mayorial candidates, in the basement—murdered. —Tandy Ringoringo
Flo’s tower of hair bobbled as she moved to a different cabinet. After not-so-gracefully shoving folders aside, she came out with a medium-sized binder with the year 1961 printed on the front. It threw Ella for a moment before she realized 1961 was the year she currently resided in, although Keystone had been cut off from the outside world for ten years, thereby making it a time capsule of the early 1950s.

She shook away the impending headache that hit anytime she tried to keep straight the time travel aspect of the town.
An old-time phonograph and a gun on a street of small-town storefronts.
