Eight suspects. Eight detectives. One body. A murder party that’s no longer a game.
Bookshop owner Keera Munroe is dreading playing in a murder mystery evening with an ultra competitive local group as the others take strategy games way too seriously and are out to win at all costs.
What she’s not expecting is when the corpse turns out to be real.
How is it possible someone got killed without any of the clever players seeing a thing? Will Keera be forced to accept this killer is too many moves ahead and will get away with murder?
