The second floor of the toy store had been closed after the body was found in the stuffed animal corral, amid a clowder of cats and a six-foot octopus. (Castle wanted the octopus.) The victim, Ken Brunner, had stayed late to restock jigsaw puzzles after yesterday’s sale. (Castle wanted the 3D Orient Express puzzle.) He’d been killed by a rapier from the pirate display. (Castle wanted the motion-activated parrot.) Surveillance footage showed that his killer was Ken’s girlfriend, the store’s doll expert, dressed in a Barbie costume. (At Castle’s hopeful look, Beckett tells Castle to get it in his size.)
