About this listen

Andy Crowl barely knew his recently deceased cousin, Craig Moore, so he’s especially surprised to be named as the sole beneficiary in Craig’s will. Not that there’s much to inherit: just an empty bank account and a run-down house.

Once Andy arrives in the town of Mortom, however, he’s drawn into his puzzle-obsessed cousin’s true legacy: a twisted and ominous treasure hunt. Beckoned by macabre clues of dead rats and cemetery keys, Andy jumps into the game, hoping to discover untold wealth. But unsavory secrets - and unanswered questions about Craig’s untimely demise - arise at every turn, leading Andy to wonder if he’s playing the game…or if the game is playing him.

Something’s rotten in Mortom. And this dead man’s game might not be all that Andy is doomed to lose.

There was nothing about this book that I didnt like, apart from having to stop listening occasionally, and when I did I rushed back to find out what happened next.

So many twists and turns, with a great twist at the end

I will definitely be purchasing the other books by ths author

I was offered this book in exchange for an honest review

Wow

Wow! This was a wonderfully weird tale. Plenty of atmosphere, loads of sibling rivalry, family secrets and quirky characters. I loved the fact that brother and sister had a 'normal' sibling relationship. They bickered, they argued, but when push came to shove they had each other's backs. The confusion around the inheritance and the bizarre treasure hunt were completely absorbing. But the denouement, when it came, BLEW MY SOCKS OFF! I was NOT expecting that! No siree, not at all. What a twist! Really clever. All the players were well drawn, and all were believable. Mostly likeable enough but with proper human flaws. Did I mention that the twist was OMG!!!! Excellently narrated by Christopher Lane, I can hand on heart recommend this book. You can thank me later!

Forgive me, this is my first ever review posted. I received this audible version as part of my on line book club very kindly from the author himself. Im not sure I would have picked the book as this was not an author I knew and actually thought it would be a British book (shows how little I know) however being an avid reader I gave it a go. I was hooked after the first few minutes after the initial American voice gave me a shock! The story line kept me listening, the many twists and turns, I decided I both loved and disliked Andy and his sister who both excited and frustrated me in equal measure. I found that I wanted to know about the puzzle almost as much as Andy, I dont want to give the story away but would readily purchase a sequel. anyone who wants a listen that is quick paced with a good story line twists and turns along the way that will keep you guessing until the last word, then this is the book for you.

I enjoyed this book! The characters are very accessible, the tone is engaging, the plot quickly draws the reader in, the story is plainly ridiculous but great fun and I looked forward to continuing with it.
Andy arrives at the town of Mortom after the death of his cousin, Craig, as he is the sole beneficiary in the will. He can't understand why his cousin has done this and there isn't much to inherit. But Andy soon stumbles across the first in a number of strange clues that have been set by Craig and the rest of the book is focused on following Andy as he chases around after clues and puzzles, planned by Craig prior to his death. I found myself trying to figure out the puzzles to be clever and work out where it was going but I didn't have a clue and the end took me by surprise.
Narration is spot on and really brings the story to life, adding to the experience.
Recommended if you want a light read with a bit of a punch so long as you are able to suspend belief and just go with it....


I received a review copy of the book from the publisher/author, don't know anyone related to the book and have given an honest review.
