'Miss Marple meets Only Murders in the Building' Jennie Godfrey FIVE-STAR READER REVIEWS: 'Such a fun read!' 'My favourite book this year' 'Fantastically done' 77-year-old Mimi is giving up her usual evening crossword and Gibson martini to attend her neighbour Jane Ireland's extravagant auction party. None of the other guests know that Mimi has been blackmailed into attending, which is why she ropes her granddaughter, Addie, into accompanying her. As Addie spots celebrities in the halls of Jane's grand old mansion and Mimi wonders how to confess the real reason for their presence, a scream pierces the air. Jane is dead. And when the second body turns up, Mimi and Addie soon become the unlikeliest of sleuths as they race to narrow down the suspects. In a house whose labyrinthine rooms are brimming with secrets, it's going to take more than a Gibson to survive the night... 'Fabulous, over-the-top fun' The Guardian 'A delightful game of twists' Chris Chibnall 'Slick and witty' Daily Mail 'Agatha Christie brought bang up to date' Clare Mackintosh 'Deliciously twisty' Lucy Clarke 'A thriller with a twist!' Cosmopolitan 'A quirky variation on Golden Age locked room mysteries with a modern zest of eccentricity and humour' Crime Time 'This is locked-room murder mystery at its best' i Paper 'A grand finale reveal Poirot would be proud of' Woman & Home 'A wonderfully vibrant take on the classic whodunit, This is Not A Game tackles the locked room mystery with warmth and humour, serving up a crime solving duo that I couldn't stop rooting for. After finishing the book, I was craving three things - a visit to Mackinac island, a Gibson, and more from author Kelly Mullen!' Kristen Perrin 'Mullen's debut introduces us to a sparkling new crime-fighting partnership: acerbic septuagenarian Mimi and her smart-as-a-whip granddaughter, Addie. In This Is Not A Game, the pair find themselves trapped together on an island mansion as murders ensue. Crackles with wit and cosy crime goodness' Vaseem Khan
