Somehow I don't think that if I was standing on a street outside of a highrise building, and a body fell and landed splatt!!  right next to me, that I would be calm and basically ignore the event after determining that I didn't know the dead person.   Clare seems to be a bit too cool in this cozy but it was entertaining.
