Can You Solve the Murder?: Investigate your own murder mystery and control the story in this interactive crime novel and puzzle book for adults
"Just glorious! An interactive crime novel where YOU sleuth-for-the-truth! After the first chapter, you're in the driving seat of the investigation, by collecting clues and choosing which direction you want the story to go in. . . a must-read for any and all crime fans!"
--Janice Hallett, international bestselling author of The Appeal
"A superior interactive crime story is always a delight....Sharpen your wits: this clever, intricate book is a highly entertaining mental workout."
--The Guardian"A Choose Your Own Adventure-style novel for willing and agile grownups. . . . Every decision leads to a fork in the road, and most of these forks lead to false accusations that will mark defeat. The result is a more elaborate version of the board game Clue that's as interactive as readers who don't play video games are likely to find."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Crafted with obvious love for its golden age predecessors, this intricate puzzle will delight armchair sleuths of all ages. Here's hoping Johnston has a sequel up his sleeve."
--Publishers Weekly"A choose-your-own-adventure for grown-ups, and it's a lot of fun. . . A book like this stands or falls on the strength of its story (which is genuinely suspenseful and surprising) and the choices presented to the reader (which are clever and entirely logical within the context of the investigation). A satisfying mystery, well presented, and one that invites multiple readings."
--Booklist"Too intriguing to resist. . . the story itself is compelling and the interactive structure is executed with remarkable precision. . . . Fans of classic murder mysteries will feel right at home."
--Game Vortex"This is a story for puzzle lovers everywhere -- 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. Antony Johnston masterfully guides you through."
--SJ Bennett, author of The Windsor Knot
