In this gripping interactive crime novel, YOU are the detective. At the end of every chapter, YOU decide what to do next...

A village of secrets. You arrive at the heart of a remote forest to investigate the murder of a young woman, found dead inside an ancient stone circle. She's a rock singer who was filming a music video. Now her bandmates are suspects, along with the eccentric locals.

No one is telling the truth. There's just one problem—they all have water-tight alibis, and many villagers believe the singer was actually killed by the 'Stone Warden'—a figure from local folklore who haunts the forest.

Only YOU can solve the mystery. Decide who to interview, decode the strange symbols written on the stone circle, and uncover what the villagers are hiding behind closed doors. Will your choices catch the killer—or will they be your downfall?

Can You Solve the Murder? was a Top Ten Kindle Bestseller, July 2025.
