In a mansion, then reform school, now dorm at a prestigious boarding school in Maine, 11 students and staff find themselves trapped during a winter storm surge. Overnight, Headmaster Boddy turns up stabbed and the murderer must be present.
Inspired by the board game, our characters all have secrets that keep the reader guessing at the murderer's identity. I kept wavering as to who I thought it was. Enjoyable if light, looking forward to Book 2.

GET THIS BOOK!!

If you like #truecrime #murdermysteries #wordle #clue #puzzles and being a #detective - you need this in your life. Some puzzles take a simple moment to solve, while others are more challenging.

I sit down with this book when I need a brain break or when I need a challenge. It's even better if you solve one with a friend or a group of people.

CogsOfEncouragement I keep meaning to play this online. 12mo

This was a fun Clue reimagining. Students at a boarding school are trapped during a storm and the headmaster is found dead in the morning. Each has a secret to hide and a possible motive for murder. It was interestingly told from multiple perspectives, leaning into the unreliable narrators.
There are a few more mysteries in this style that I'll check out in future as well #SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

My plan for this #PopUpWeekend is to finish the tagged book and make progress on The Cartographers audiobook while working on some crafts. Currently getting a pedicure this morning and reading my book 🥰

I picked this up at our FotL bookshop, and I was expecting a cute little mystery novel. Unfortunately, it was more a series of logic puzzles (not that I dislike logic puzzles, but these were very simplistic - obviously meant for young children who I don't think would get most of the references). Oh well.
(10 stories×10 points)+1=101 (forgot to look for words and it only took like 20 minutes)

Clwojick I miss when brand new books would be $3.95 Canadian. 🤣🫣 I‘m pretty sure this would be $2.99 at my local Valu Village lol (edited) 1y
Traci1 @Clwojick right? The copyright is 1993, and even then I feel like that was a steal. God, I'm old. 1y

I read this book because I love of the movie Clue, the game Clue and the elementary book series based on Clue - I love Clue!
Did I love this book? Not entirely. Liked the trapped in a boarding school during a storm aspect, but some character were referred to by color name (as in the game) and others were called by a different name (Plum = Finn), so sometime it was difficult to remember who was who. Overall the book was okay. Recommend!

An official CLUE mystery. Scarlett, Mustard, Green& the rest are stranded at a prestigious private school in podunk Maine (ayuh) during a storm. A murder is committed & they pry into eachothers motivations, rule out suspects, crawl through secret passages & mop up *so much* evidence…

Set up as a trilogy, the main story concludes but there‘s plenty of other threads to pull. Character interactions were superficial but the story was cohesive.
