The Killer Question By Janice Hallett A red hardback book with a drawing of a traditional country pub and the tagline β€œThe sudden-death round will be murder β€œ

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.
