ONE MURDER. FIFTEEN SUSPECTS. CAN YOU UNCOVER THE TRUTH?
There is a mystery to solve in the sleepy town of Lower Lockwood. It starts with the arrival of two secretive newcomers, and ends with a tragic death. Roderick Tanner QC has assigned law students Charlotte and Femi to the case. Someone has already been sent to prison for murder, but he suspects that they are innocent. And that far darker secrets have yet to be revealed...
Throughout the amateur dramatics society's disastrous staging of All My Sons and the shady charity appeal for a little girl's medical treatment, the murderer hid in plain sight. The evidence is all there, waiting to be found. But will Charlotte and Femi solve the case? Will you?

Different...in a good way
As an avid crime reader, I loved how differently this book is set out to most. You feel a part of things as everything comes together. I found it hard to put down...would recommend!
Fresh and Addictive!
This style of murder mystery is just fantastic. The pages fly by and the twists keep coming.
LOVED IT!!!!
Top notch mystery
Another classic, similar in nature to the Twyford Code, truly complex, a bit tricky to get into due to that and the fact it‘s story is told through messages and emails, but well worth it.
Some of the twists will have you kicking yourself you didn‘t get them, other plots are easier to pick, but you won‘t guess the ending. All is revealed however so nothing left for a sequeal.
Great book, enjoy it.
