Who will be their next victim? And can you solve this world-famous mystery for yourself?

I went to see the play, but still enjoyed this book in a lovely binding and design. I usually donate my books after reading but this one is a keeper.

I have always wanted to know who did it. Now I do (shush). Nice easy read. Very enjoyable.
by Bas
Very good read, it was just like the play I had seen. Entertaining and and good to go over what had happened in the stage show. Of course I can’t tell you who the murder is !!!
by Steven E.
Please know this isn’t a book as such, it is a hard cover bound script of the play.
I say this as its not entirely clear in the product information on Amazon and you could be disappointed if you receive it thinking its a book!
