This was amazing. I loved that adventure books where you chose which way to go when I was a kid, so I was really excited to be able to read this one about a murder, and be the one investigating.
This was not a let down at all, I adored it, it was fun and intriguing, I lost at my first try but succeeded the second one. Thanks for the opportunity (although I read it on my Netgalley app at my phone, and some of the links didn't work properly and I had to look for the section by hand)

Oh how I loved this book..
NO! I didn't guess the clues
NO! I had no clue what was going to happen
so YES! I am a terrible detective..
This is a unique and clever read. Just brilliant..

Murder Most Foul..
Anyone for a tad of amateur sleuthing, maybe a little snooping? Step into detection mode in this cleverly constructed interactive crime novel where the reader becomes detective, where every clue counts. Murder most foul is afoot at the Elysium - a health retreat set inside an English country manor house - and you need to find out exactly whodunit. Everything is at stake here, everyone a suspect. Wholly enjoyable and deliciously entertaining.
