The Killer Question
By Janice Hallett
A red hardback book with a drawing of a traditional country pub and the tagline βThe sudden-death round will be murder β
The super new mystery from @janicehallett.bsky.social set in the world of pub quizzes.
I love her modern take on the epistolary novel, using text messages, emails, police recordings etc to establish characters and move the plot forward.
Lots of twists! Great fun, skilfully done.
