From Little Stack

I am a big fan of Janice’s books and her signature mixed-media style, so this one was a must read for me!

In The Killer Question, the landlords of a quiet country pub are missing and no one knows what happened. Yet some strange events occurred in the days leading up to their disappearance; a murdered man pulled from a river, an eccentric couple who claimed to be led by a spirit guide, a mysterious new pub quiz team… And so another mystery must be solved!

It’s always such fun getting involved in a new Janice Hallett mystery, and I will always recommend her books. This one is fiendishly clever and was an instant bestseller. No surprises
there!

Publisher Description

Janice Hallett returns with a fresh, edge-of-your-seat mystery that takes place at a pub's weekly trivia night, revealed through quiz categories, phone messages, and email correspondence.

Sue and Mal Eastwood run an isolated rural pub called The Case is Altered where a weekly trivia game has revived its flagging fortunes—that is, until a body is found in the nearby river. Soon after, a mysterious new team arrives and shakes up the diverse field of regulars by scoring top marks in every round...every week.

Meanwhile, Sue and Mal have a secret of their own. Before arriving here, they were caught up in a secret police operation which meant they had to leave town—and whatever happened back then seems to have finally caught up with them.

Five years later, the pub lies derelict, and their nephew Dominic is determined to make a documentary about their story. What happened at this unassuming pub? And can a single question really kill?
