Louise Hegarty: Fair Play, Gebunden

Klappentext

This is a murder mystery. This is a story about love. Or is it? . . . 'Ingeniously escapes the locked room of the genre to take on the biggest questions of life and death' - Paul Murray, author of The Bee Sting

Abigail and her brother Benjamin have always been close. To celebrate his birthday, Abigail hires a grand old house and gathers their friends together for a murder mystery party. As the night goes on, they drink too much and play games. Relationships are forged, consolidated or frayed. Someone kisses someone they shouldn't, someone else's heart is broken.

In the morning, everyone wakes up - except Benjamin.

Suddenly everything is not quite what it seems. An eminent detective arrives determined to find Benjamin's killer. This is a locked-room mystery, and everyone is a suspect.

As Abigail attempts to fathom her brother's unexpected death in a world that has been turned upside down, she begins to wonder whether perhaps the true mystery might have been his life . . .
