*** FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE APPEAL ***

'Agatha Christie for the 21st century' - THE TIMES
'The queen of tricksy crime' - SUNDAY TIMES

Six Students. One Murder. Your Time Starts Now...

The students of Royal Hastings University's new Multimedia Art course have been trouble from day one. Acclaimed artist Alyson wants the department to revolve around her. Ludya struggles to balance her family and the workload. Jonathan has management experience but zero talent for art. Lovely Patrick can barely operate his mobile phone, let alone professional design software. Meanwhile blustering Cameron tries to juggle the course with his job in the City and does neither very well. Then there's Jem. A gifted young sculptor, she's a promising student... but cross her at your peril.

The year-long course is blighted by accusations of theft, students setting fire to one another's artwork, a rumoured extra-marital affair and a disastrous road trip. But finally they are given their last assignment: to build an interactive art installation for a local manufacturer. With six students who have nothing in common except their clashing personal agendas, what could possibly go wrong?

The answer is: murder. When the external examiner arrives to assess the students' essays and coursework, he becomes convinced that a student was killed on the course and that the others covered it up. But is he right? And if so, who is dead, why were they killed, and who is the murderer? Only a close examination of the evidence will reveal the truth. Your time starts now...

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Given the importance of precision in analysing the evidence in the cases JH offers us, it was deeply irritating to see how little effort had been made to understand the process of examining and running a postgraduate course. The inaccuracies made nonsense of the plot and motivation. Given the basic principles involved are not difficult to grasp, it seemed to suggest a laziness or arrogance I had not expected from this author. Actors were excellent, though.

Brilliant performances and I wanted to love the story, but it kept lurching in increasingly odd directions.

The plot was just too convoluted
