Fifteen guests. One elegant table. One identical meal. Only the host died.
Years ago, wealthy Beverly Hills socialite Katarina Holtivitz invited fifteen carefully selected guests to an extravagant private dinner at her estate.
The evening was filled with cocktails, laughter, expensive wine, quiet rivalries, and conversations that were never meant to leave the room.
Then the soup was served.
Every guest received the same meal.
Everyone drank from the same selection of beverages.
But only Katarina became violently ill.
Minutes later, she was dead.
The autopsy confirmed poisoning.
The problem? The communal soup tested clean. The shared wine showed nothing unusual. The kitchen ingredients appeared normal.
So how was Katarina the only person poisoned?
The case eventually went cold.
Now it belongs to you.
In Crack the Cold Case: The Dinner Party You Want to Miss, you become the lead detective assigned to reopen the murder of Katarina Holtivitz.
You must determine who killed her, why they wanted her dead, how they poisoned only her serving, whether anyone helped, and which guests are lying about what really happened that night.
Inside the case file, you will:
- Review profiles of all fifteen dinner guests
- Investigate household staff, servers, the chef, and bartender
- Study the dinner seating arrangement and service sequence
- Examine witness statements and suspect interrogations
- Analyze food, beverage, and place-setting evidence
- Review phone messages, financial records, and hidden business connections
- Compare alibis and guest movements
- Study the critical minutes surrounding the soup course
- Examine the original detective's increasingly obsessive notes
- Pick your investigative team
- Receive team-specific evidence and clues
- Review newly discovered evidence
- Identify the killer, motive, and method
- Make your final accusation before the official solution is revealed
Everyone at the table is hiding something.
And one person knew exactly how to make Katarina's place at the table different from everyone else's.
Perfect for readers who enjoy interactive murder mysteries, detective puzzle books, cold case investigations, crime-solving games, whodunit challenges, case-file mysteries, logic and deduction puzzles, and escape-room-style books for adults.
Read the file. Review the evidence. Pick your team. Expose the lies. Make the arrest.
Can you solve the murder before the truth is served cold forever?
