Who Is The Villain?

Introduction

Yesterday, I discovered the ghazal poetry form, which you can read about here:

I like the way the final words on the second lines of the couplets can be used for emphasis.

Today (15th September) is also Agatha Christie's birthday, so for the Vocal "Masks We Wear" challenge, I thought I could combine all these for this one.

My apologies for the spoilers for anyone who does not know the stories

The music is "Behind The Mask" by Fleetwood Mac
