Praise For…


"Fans of CLUE and murder-mystery aficionados are equally well served . . . Ingeniously plotted and vastly entertaining."
— Kirkus Reviews

"A smart new series . . . the plot capitalizes on the popularity of the game upon which it’s based, incorporating clever wordplay with tantalizingly distributed tidbits of information. The many remaining questions will help ramp up anticipation for the next installment."
