Praise for this book
"A high-energy mystery, both exclamation point and question mark - like Agatha Christie on amphetamines. Imagine a labyrinth packed with ninety-degree turns and spiralling staircases and art on the walls - and a ruthless guide addressing you directly from the page - and you've got a sense of The Game Is Murder, a striking, playful novel for neither the faint of heart nor the slow of wit." - A J Finn
"A postmodern puzzler that dares to pull apart every trope in the book - literally." - Antony Johnston
"Strikingly original, but with nods to Golden Age crime, it's an ingenious story of constantly changing perspectives. Different, clever, and highly entertaining!" - Guy Morpuss
"A significant achievement, packed with insight and invention, The Game Is Murder presents the reader with a fiction killing that seems to defy explanation. It is witty and remarkable and entirely unpredictable." - Alex Pavesi
