I found it! I just need to think of what the killer's three mistakes were...
You mean the killer from the story in question, or the killer from the Mystery Man Game? I doubt the latter made three mistakes, they might be less or more. At least I counted two of them and I also have one possible explanation why he/she chose these people, which could also be counted as a mistake. But there could be other I do not see as of now.
Second day of fruitless search even with second vision ( I thought I spotted a typo in a description for something in the story but there was no link. Tried another story that I recalled the killer making three mistakes yet I couldn't find anything either. Is this clue hidden in a story that had appeared for earlier clues?

Nope, it's a story we haven't seen yet... but I can help you out by saying that it's a really famous one - indeed, it's in the top 100 mystery novels of all time!
and the link is quite well hidden, so be sure to read the plot description carefully!
One more hint, I also posted it in Facebook (and I believe I can help no more): It is considered to be one of the best stories in the criminal genre. I did not know the title by now, however, the translation in Bulgarian is a pretty common word. And the translation to one other language was as someones' "mistake". That someone usually does not make mistakes and that someone also considers this case to be very hard. That is what I understood for the story in question.
Good hints, guys! I hope others understand them. I can't wait to ask my questions and see if someone can answer them, so that a satisfactory motive comes to me... Now I have three versions and several things I do not understand from the whole plot of the game. But without the Mystery Man known to everyone, I shall not rush with further questions.

Oooaaah that is a tricky one to find. But now I know the murderer yaaay :-D and it was who I suspected. I have a motive, doubt it's Correct but ill give it a go anyway
finally!!! I can't belive it! I was looking everywhere for the teeny tiny link... I think I went back to that story at least 5 times yesterday, couldn't find it, and got stuck with the next story I could think about, and then the next and so on...
as for a clue: sometimes, ignorance is bliss... knowing too much can be bad for your health...

Well done, Maria! To be honest, I spotted the link from the first time I entered the place. Before going there, I had the feeling that I am seeing words as links, but once there, this one was caught quickly by my eye. And then I was like "OMG, after I click it I will know" and made suspense for a few more seconds before opening it. I will definitely read the stories I have not, where the hidden links were. I was familiar with only two of them.
I have only read one, but 3 I've seen in the TV series of Poirot and Marple... Most of the Christie stories I've read were not on this year's game... But I'll read more books for next year's game!
Finally finally got it! lol Wow, I didn't go anywhere near that story yesterday. What I did was focus on the word mistake and the only translated title I could find with the word mistake in it was 'Hickory Dickory Dock" translated into "Miss Lemon's Mistake." For those still struggling to find the link, it is not in Hickory Dickory Dock.
Despite all of the hints given above, I still can't find a translated version of the title that indicates mistake or failure, however that is just me. The hint that helped me the most was the one that said it was one of Christie's most popular books, and I will add that according to some critics, it was also her most controversial.
Wow, I spent so much time looking for this last link that my eyes became blurry, I feel like I need to consult a doctor!

check the word with the link again to find the "tranlated version"... just if you want to get rid of any doubts...

Anybody else kind of sad that it's come to an end now? :-( to be honest I have a vague guess for a motive but it doesn't explain everything. Finding the hidden links from the visions was all the fun for me. Now I'm just bewildered lol

I agree it has been great fun and very enjoyable this month finding the clues. Chatting and making forum friends who have all been helpful and unselfish and really kind.
I like to think Dame Agatha would have loved to see this another side to human nature.
Although I cannot completely think of motive etc. I have my own theory/story will send it in anyway even if it's wrong :-)
