Book #15, chapter 2 ("A Dog's Tale") has the guests trying to steal Boddy's new pet, Jeff the Wonder Puppy, a famous animal actor. One of them winds up slathering him in mustard to try and disguise his distinctive markings, but hears Boddy coming and has to run away empty-handed.

As a consequence, Boddy winds up confiscating all the cards and keeping them for himself. Chalk Outline: Mr. Boddy's supposedly dead form is outlined in the last chapter of the very first book (and it's shown in the cover illustration too). The victim in book #6, chapter 5 ("Tall Tales"), is also outlined, along with the Wrench found near them. In both cases, neither victim is actually dead — Boddy was just unconscious, and book #6's victim turned out to have been deep in thought and mistaken for dead. (In the latter case, examining a detail of the outline allows two of the guests, who weren't at the mansion at the time, to figure out who the victim was.)
