Ink Ribbon Red

£9.99

A group of friends gather in a country house for a birthday party. At their host’s request, they each write a short mystery. They draw names from a hat: in each story, one of the group is the killer, and another the victim. Of course, when given such a task, it’s only natural to use what you know. Secrets. Grudges. Illicit love. It’s just that once you put it in a story, the secret is out. Oh, and just one more thing: this is a story that ends with a murder.

Description

Six friends. Six motives for murder. But who will be the victim – and who will be the killer?

‘The master puppeteer of literary crime’ JANICE HALLETT

‘Today’s greatest exponent of playful detective fiction’ GUARDIAN

‘A new spin on the traditional country house murder . . . when the style is this good, it’s worth the investment‘ Irish News

–
May, 1999:
Six friends gather at a country house for a birthday.
The host insists they play a game.

Each will write a story about one friend murdering another.
Points are given for plausibility.
No secret, grudge or affair is off limits.

Six stories. Six murders.
And now six unexpected motives.

Because this game is about to get murderously real . . .
–
