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...
