About this listen
Put your wits to the test in this festive crime novel stuffed with puzzles!

‘Totally unique, combining great murder mystery with proper brain-teasers’ Antony Johnston​

Renowned puzzler Audrey Peppertree is hosting a luxurious Christmas party in her famous manor. Her invitation was a playful riddle, but one RSVP was returned anonymously, with an ominous threat.

Fearing for her life, Audrey asks her old friend Eloise Dodd – a retired bodyguard – to join the dinner and work out which of her guests could be hungry for revenge. But by the end of the evening, will Audrey's goose be cooked?

Trapped by storms and scared for their lives, the diners find themselves taunted with more cryptic games. It seems the arrogant killer likes to play with their food.

But if you put all of the puzzle answers together, they will lead to the solution of the crime… Can you beat the detectives to work out Whodunnit?

Including 25+ original puzzles devised by Mastermind- and University Challenge- quiz creator Sarah Dunnakey, this is the perfect gift for fans of Murdle, Ludwig, and Agatha Christie.
