About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE MOST ORIGINAL, META MURDER MYSTERY OF 2025, PERFECT FOR FANS OF STUART TURTON, ANTHONY HOROWITZ AND AGATHA CHRISTIE!

THIRTEEN GUESTS. THIRTEEN SUSPECTS. AN IMPOSSIBLE MURDER.
A MYSTERY YOU MUST SOLVE - OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES...


What if a Great Detective reinvestigated the most famous unsolved murder case of the century?

What if that Great Detective was you?
You have been invited to a very special murder mystery party.
Thirteen guests have been gathered - rather, thirteen suspects.

But only one of them is a murderer. And only you can find them.
Your task is simple. Listen to the witnesses, examine the evidence, and solve the case.
Be careful. Trust no one. In this story, all may not be as it seems.
The ultimate murder mystery is yours to solve.

A word of warning, though - catch the killer, or face the consequences...

'A high-energy mystery, both excalamation point and question mark...a striking, playful novel' A.J. Finn

'Witty and remarkable and entirely unpredictable' Alex Pavesi
'Strikingly original, but with nods to Golden Age crime...different, clever, and highly entertaining!' Guy Morpuss
'A postmodern puzzler that dares to pull apart every trope in the book - literally' Antony Johnston
'A remarkable, unique novel inspired by an infamous case' Nicholas Royle

Don’t like it

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This was boring, over long and tried and failed to be innovative and fresh. Really disappointing and a waste of a credit. I listened to the last couple of hours sped up to get through it.

Deranged and full of plot holes

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The narration is exceptional and really brings the story to life.

Very enjoyable and fun, and a story out of the ordinary.

Very enjoyable and brilliant narration
