Crime novel meets gamebook in this gripping, inventive locked-room murder mystery, set in a wellness retreat in a country mansion, from award-winning crime author and veteran games writer.

ARE YOU READY TO BE A DETECTIVE?

In this gripping interactive crime novel, at the end of every chapter, YOU choose what to do next...

You arrive at Elysium, a wellness retreat in an English country manor, to investigate a murder. You find the body of a local businessman on the lawn, with a rose placed in his mouth.

When you examine the body, you learn that he fell to his death from the balcony above. But that balcony can only be accessed through a locked doorβ€”and the key is missing.

Everyone in Elysium is now a suspect, but who will you interview first? Be careful what you choose, because every decision you make has consequences, and some of them will prove fatal...

Do you have what it takes? Can YOU solve the murder?

Experience a gripping new type of story, unlike anything you've read before, from Antony Johnston, award-winning crime author and veteran games writer.
