Mr. James is d.e.a.d….Who did it?

Mr. James was found dead in his room. The room had no window and the door was locked. The only 4 people who had a key to the room were questioned.

Sophia the maid: “I came to wake up Mr. James; when I saw him dead, I screamed!”

John the butler: “When I heard the scream, I ran into the room, turned on the light and saw Mr. James with a knife in his neck.”

Sarah the governess: “I rushed up alongside John; when he turned on the light, the room was all bloody.”

Jack the cook: “I was prepping breakfast and didn’t see anything.”

Who did it?

It was Sophia. If the room was dark, she wouldn’t have seen Mr. James lying there — unless she already knew it.
