Summary: Mystery fiction has many long-running traditions. Response to
castle100 challenge convention.
There’s one thing that Castle’s always wanted to do. (Okay, technically there are seventy-three things Castle’s always wanted to do, but seventeen are illegal.) He’s always wanted to gather all the suspects of a crime in one room while the detective, um, detects until the killer confesses, just like in the old movies. But every time he suggests it, Beckett refuses.
He finally gets his wish when an old fashioned multi-millionaire is murdered at a financial convention, and Beckett has to interview his staff before they leave town. The resulting confession's everything Castle ever hoped for. The butler did it.
