The Murder Game

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A gripping locked-room mystery set around a murder mystery party in a crumbling country house. This is Tom Hindle's fiendish follow-up to A Fatal Crossing.

One house. Nine guests. Endless motives for murder...

Guests assemble at Hamlet Hall for a New Year's Eve party to remember.

They are to take part in a murder mystery game with a 1920s twist, and everyone has their own part to play.

But the evening has barely begun when one guest is found dead - killed by an injury to the head.

Someone is playing by their own rules.

And in a close-knit community, old rivalries run deep...
