Overview
Los Angeles, 1958: the brightest and best names in Hollywood have gathered at the Royale Premiere hotel on the eve of the biggest awards show of the year. But things turn sour when leading lady Blanche Aikerman is found murdered in her room. With a list of suspects as long as Blanche’s accolades and credits, the reader is thrust into the position of an LAPD homicide detective on the scene and charged with hunting down the culprit.
Blending all the fun and appeal of the traditional hard-boiled detective story with a classic choose-your-own-adventure model, the book puts the reader right in the thick of the action. Larger-than-life characters and cunning suspects and puzzles will try to throw you off the scent as a series of choices are presented to the reader at every turn. And only one path will catch the killer, while others will lead to different outcomes for the story.
Ideal for fans of Murdle and puzzle-obsessed crime enthusiasts, this book takes inspiration from the hugely popular gamebooks of the 1970s and 1980s and updates it with a modern twist. Murder in Tinseltown immerses the reader in an investigation set against the glamorous backdrop of Hollywood’s golden era.
