Maybe it was the Scooby-Doo-ish plot summary. No idea why I delayed, as it’s been sitting on my Kindle for a while now. Locked Room International published this a couple of years ago, and I’ve finally got round to taking a look at it. But if it was the killer who survived, who was that killer? And are they still on the island? Or is the killer someone else – but the only people on the island are the seven members of the Mystery Club…
The original killing spree was one body short of what was expected – presumably that of the killer. And the following morning, one of those plates is glued to a bedroom door, a bedroom that contains the dead body of one of the club. But on the second morning, they come across something bizarre – seven plates labelled First Victim to Fifth Victim, Detective and Murderer. The seven friends (who have nicknames based on classic crime writers) decide to visit the island, staying in the so-called Decagon House due to everything in it having ten sides. “ Hey everybody, let’s go to the island where there was a series of horrific unsolved murders several years ago!”Īnd nobody from the University Mystery Club, not Carr, not Ellery, not Agatha, not Orczy, not Van Dine and not Poe thought this was a bad idea…
