Brought to you by Penguin.

Six friends gather at a country house for a birthday weekend. They decide to play a game.

All six names go in a hat. Choose two, and imagine one murdering the other. Write it down. Type it up. Read it out.

Points are given for making the murders sound convincing.

Of course, when given such a task, it’s only natural to use what you know. Secrets. Grudges. Affairs.

But once you’ve put it in a story, that secret is out.

So with each fictional murder, someone gets a motive for a real one.

Which leads to the most important question:

When a real murder comes, will you be able to spot it in time?

Eleştirmen yorumları

A spectacularly complex, crafty puzzle with characters who come more and more to life as the stakes get higher
Ink Ribbon Red is the epitome of the artful murder mystery and Alex Pavesi the master puppeteer of literary crime, creating a unique yet relatable cast on pages that won’t stop turning. I was utterly hooked (Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal)
Fun
Ink Ribbon Red is a thriller for clever people. This dark-hearted, light-footed mystery-thriller — an inspired mash-up of And Then There Were None, Cluedo, and Lucy Foley — plays fair, fierce, and fast: like the what-could-go-wrong party game that goes very wrong indeed for its cast, it’s dangerous fun, and just the tonic for readers hungover on same-old-same-old crime fiction. (A.J. Finn)
There are reveals within reveals as the bamboozled reader tries to decide what’s real and what isn’t. More fun than Eight Detectives
A new spin on the traditional country house murder . . . when the style is this good, it’s worth the investment.
Exquisitely original (Ragnar Jonasson)
A brilliant work of illusion: murders, real and imagined, nestled within one another! The clues are all there, if you can see them. A book you finish and then start again just to see how thoroughly you’ve been fooled! (Guy Morpuss, author of Black Lake Manor)
Quirky and unpredictable, Ink Ribbon Red is a Rubik's cube of unreliable narratives (Martin Edwards)
Praise for Alex Pavesi's sensational bestseller, Eight Detectives (:)

For quite some time, I thought the bad writing was a deliberate clue to each author - until I realised it wasn’t. It’s just bad writing.
The book is riddled with tortuous language and peopled by a languid bunch with no redeeming qualities.
Worst of all, it’s dull and repetitive.
The narration was great, though.

Very disappointing

Really disappointed with this one. Felt like it was a waste of my time. Just nowhere near as good, and really unbelievable characters that I couldn’t get behind at any point.

Can’t compare to Eight Detectives

Loved this book. Well crafted with twists that kept me hooked. Dino Fetscher’s narration was also spot on.

Just brilliant

Had no idea what was going on and didn't care. It never once held my attention.

Atrocious

So confusing, and not in a clever, well planned out way - in a lets just throw everything including the kitchen sink at it and hope nobody notices all the gaping plot holes and ridiculous repeated, ideas (I lost count of the amount of threatening notes). I don't know if the physical book possibly reads better - I mean I'm assuming there were editors involved in this? I feel the narrator tried his best but when the characters are this loatheable and the stories this utterly perplexing and non-sensical, there's kind of no coming back from that. I couldn't finish it as it made me so angry and after my 17th 'Seriously?!!' that I shouted out loud at my phone, I had to give up. The summary is the best part about it - by a country mile. I hope all of the short stories are true as I don't want any of these awful characters to survive - it's very hard to invest in a story where you aren't rooting for someone/wanting at least one person to have a happy ending. I have read many books in my time and this ranks as the worst.

Terrible story
