The Murder Game
Tom Hindle
One house. Nine guests. Endless motives for murder...
In the seaside town of Hamlet Wick, nine guests assemble for a New Year's Eve party to remember. The owner of Hamlet Hall has organised a murder mystery evening with a 1920s twist, and everyone has their own part to play. But the game has barely begun when one guest is found dead - killed by a fatal injury to the head. With no phone signal and no way out of the house, the others are trapped with a killer in their midst.
Someone is playing by their own rules. And in a close-knit community, old rivalries run deep...

Praise
"Unsurprisingly The Murder Game attracts comparisons with the work of Agatha Christie and passes this pretty stiff test with flying colours […] He has the potential to become a major new voice in British crime writing."
Peterborough Telegraph
"This is a riveting stuff, breathing new life into the traditional locked-room mystery. Hindle puts as 21st century spin on a Golden Age tale that's both captivating and cunning."
