“Hallett continues to stretch the limits of the epistolary mystery in this playful tale of murder at a weekly trivia night… Hallett is at the top of her game. It’s a wickedly satisfying ride.”
—Publishers Weekly

“A quintessential British pub, an escalating quiz-night rivalry, and a deeply personal mystery unfold in this clever epistolary tale… A masterclass in plotting. Warning to readers seeking emotional footing: the rug will be yanked again and again.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“The conclusion is sure to take readers by surprise in this unique, tantalizing tale of deception, greed, and murder. Recommended for dedicated Anglophiles and those who enjoy the quirky and unusual.”
—Booklist

“Hallett is a master of misdirection, nudging us toward the mystery of the Shadow Knights so that our focus on peripheral matters relaxes. There are twists aplenty in The Killer Question, but the big one near the end is a well-earned shocker that makes you rethink everything that came before it.”
—Air Mail

"Fiendishly clever."
—The Christian Science Monitor

“Another brilliant, literary puzzler from Janice Hallett. Through text threads and emails and pub quiz results she manages to create a fully formed world, one with dark twists and reversals, but also one that brims with her signature wit, along with just the right amount of genuine pathos. Her best book yet.”
—Peter Swanson, author of The Kind Worth Killing

“Brilliantly twisted, laugh-out-loud hilarious, and devilishly addictive. I loved every line of it.”
—Louise Candlish, author of The Other Passenger

“A deliciously twisted mystery that skewers village life with a sharpened pencil and a quiz sheet. Hilarious, inventive, and quietly savage—this is cozy crime with claws and I adored every sinister second!”
—Joanna Wallace, author of You'd Look Better as a Ghost

“Another brilliant, twisty mystery from Janice Hallett where the truth lies somewhere between the lines.”
—Elly Griffiths, author of The Stranger Diaries
