Sinking Not Swimming

Sinking Not Swimming is the forty-fourth case in Starlight Shores and the fifth one situated in the Solaris City district.

Plot
Linda accompanied the player to Geoffrey's party and while investigating him inside the house, the sound of gunshots was heard. Racing out to the pool, Linda and the player discovered the body of Charlize Winston, Geoffrey's soon-to-be wife, shot in the head and floating in the swimming pool.

During chapter 1, mayor Roy Ketcher and socialite Rosemary Hia were interrogated about the murder. Geoffrey Salaverro was also informed of his fiancée's murder. At the end of the chapter, Alice explained that Roy had gotten drunk at the party and was causing problems. In the second chapter, the victim's sister Lena Winston and businessman Maximillian Osborne, who was previously suspected of his father's murder, were suspected.

Throughout the investigation it was revealed that Charlize was cheating on Geoffrey with Maximillian and that she was also the head of a protest movement against Roy. An online video Rosemary was also nearly kicked out of the party because of her involvement in allowing Linda and the player in to investigate and Lena disapproved of Charlize marrying Geoffrey and refused to attend their wedding.
