The Game is Murder cover


Eight suspects. Eight detectives. One body. A murder party that’s no longer a game.

Bookseller Keera Munroe is dreading playing in a murder mystery evening with an ultra competitive local group as the other players 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?
