Fiction

A mystery that will defy even the most ingenious of detectives.

Because, when you turn over a stone in an English village, you have no idea what will crawl out...

'I'm not too late, am I? When does the murder begin?'

An announcement appears in the local paper:

this Friday, at exactly 6.30pm, a murder will take place.

Who could resist such an invitation?

Driven by morbid curiosity, the villagers head to the appointed location: a quiet house on the outskirts of the village.

The crowd gathers. The clock counts down. And then the lights go out.
