About A Game of Murder

'The most satisfying locked-room mystery I’ve read all year' ★★★★★ Someone's not playing by the rules…. The reading group at Norcester’s specialist crime bookshop adore a cosy whodunnit. So they are delighted to find themselves guests of honour at a remote country house for the weekend, to inspect the extensive library of Lord and Lady Verity. When one of the staff plunges to their death from the tower, and a snowstorm cuts the manor off from the outside world, the amateur sleuths must use everything they’ve learned from their favourite detective stories to identify potential suspects, weapons and locations. Can they uncover the clues before the game-playing killer strikes again? Part of The Cosy Crime Club series, but each title contains a brand new mystery, and can be read as a standalone.
