I really enjoyed it... <b>a story that grabs you by the arm and drags you in</b> ... because you're deciding what course to follow, you become much more invested in the unfolding story; this is <b>a unique crime-reading experience.</b>

J M Hall

This is <b>a story for puzzle lovers everywhere</b> – but only you can separate the real clues from the red herrings. It’s an unusual tale where you really are the detective, and just make sure you don’t accidentally die in the process. <b>Antony Johnston masterfully guides you through.</b>

S J Bennett

<b>Nostalgic, compulsive and totally addictive</b> - <i>Can You Solve The Murder?</i> is a masterpiece of interactive storytelling. Prepare your little grey cells to be given a THOROUGH workout as Johnston serves up a delightful slice of puzzling fun.

Jonathan Whitelaw

<i>Can You Solve The Murder? </i>is<b> cunning, clever and so, so compelling</b>! I had the best time trying to beat the book and solve the murder. Filled with clues, codes and more than a few red herrings, it's the perfect read for any armchair detective.

Katy Watson
