Recency bias, as I finished this last week, but The Killer Question by Janice Hallett is great. A local pub quiz gone very wrong, the structure controls how the story unfolds without being heavy handed, and is extra enjoyable. & of course it has the signature modern epistolary style. Smashing stuff

Pub quiz cheating may not be a matter of life and death - but it can feel that way | Janice Hallett
Weeks before the Manchester cheating story broke, I published a murder mystery novel with almost the same plot. It’s no coincidence
