Lewis takes over Chapter Two and wastes no time giving Callum exactly what he asked for: less meandering, more dialogue, and a sharper sense of scandal. We rejoin the guests at Blackthrone Manor huddled around a dinning table near Victor Kane's body, as Dr Amelia Graves attempts to seize control of the room and formally declares that Victor was murdered - to the horror of everyone who realises they're now trapped in the house and (even worse) might miss the Bake Off final.
Lewis introduces two new suspects with two big personalities Lucien Moreau a dramatic French ballroom instructor, and Sienna Vale, a glamour-loving tennis obsessive in a sequin dress. Tensions immediately flare as Isabella Blackthorne publicly accuses Lucien Moreau of trying to waltz her way into Kane's life, while Luicen fires back with a key revelation: Isabella wasn't just hiding things in the grandfather clock - she brought Kane the shredder.
The chapter then rewinds to the morning of the dinner party to flesh out Kane's backstory: a young handsome Gosling of Gloucestershire struggling with the upkeep of Blackthrone Manor and a messy love life. We learn his great obsession was Sienna - his tennis doubles partner and the object of his affection - before Lewis lands a final, soap-operatic twist: Sienna was having a affair with Marcas Hale and she's married to another resident of Blackthrone Manor Lord Jacob. With motives multiplying, Even mysteriously absent and two suspects still unrevealed. Callum gets his next writing brief: an interrogation, a surprise and the introduction of a new character.
Lewis and Callum are making a game….together. They alternate chapters in a bid to create a gripping murder mystery. The catch? They have completely different ideas about the game should be.
What starts as a simple premise becomes a competitive, unpredictable battle of twists, cliffhangers and creative one-upmanship.
Part comedy show, part audiobook, part social experiment and by the end, there's a complete original game, written in real time.
