Told with stories-within-the-story, the plot centers on a group of friends who gather for a weekend at one of their country homes to celebrate a milestone birthday and play a "murder game" each randomly draws one name as a victim and one as a murderer, an most write a short story describing a murder, to be read out judged at the end of the weekend. Soon the reader is unsure if a chapter is a real plot point, or simply one of the murder stories crafted by the participants. A late arriving friend begins to unravel the doings and soon figures out what is afoot. A very interesting premise, well written, but a bit confusing for the reader.
