Discover the most original crime novel of 2025 and join us for an evening with Hazell Ward as she talks about her debut new murder mystery, The Game is Murder.
THIRTEEN GUESTS. THIRTEEN SUSPECTS. AN IMPOSSIBLE MURDER. A MYSTERY YOU MUST SOLVE – OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES…
What if a Great Detective reinvestigated the most famous unsolved murder case of the century? What if that Great Detective was you?
You have been invited to a very special murder mystery party. Thirteen guests have been gathered – rather, thirteen suspects. But only one of them is a murderer. And only you can find them.
Your task is simple. Listen to the witnesses, examine the evidence, and solve the case. Be careful. Trust no one. In this story, all may not be as it seems.
The ultimate murder mystery is yours to solve. A word of warning, though – catch the killer, or face the consequences…
We look forward to welcoming Wrexham based author Hazell Ward to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of The Game is Murder.
