SPOILER: Mate-In-3 04 Need help

I have been looking at this for hours and cannot work it out.......I actually growled at the screen. Anyone confirm that Qc4 is the first move for me?

Spot on with Qc4+ as your first move. If you've been following recent threads asking for other solutions, you won't be surprised at all to hear it involves yet another queen sacrifice. This time initially forcing the king towards the edge of the board before queen suicide sets up killer blow delivered by the knight(s).

1 Qc4+ Kd2
2 Qc1+ Kxc1
3 Nb3#

yep thanks. I think that was the only square (c1) i failed to move the queen to. must be automatically blocked from my brain as it involves losing the queen ;)
