Description
'If you're a fan of Richard Osman, you simply have to make sure this series is next in your list.'
The Wipeout Round sees the return of best friends and amateur detectives, Amy and Jenny. Having seen off two serial killers in as many years, the pair are looking forward to a quiet life, but their hometown of Folkestone has other ideas.
Throwing themselves into the local pub quiz scene, Amy and Jenny are shocked when members of other teams start dropping dead at an alarming rate. Jenny's convinced they simply died of old age, but Amy's not so sure and sets out to investigate, hoping to find enough evidence to convince her friend there's more to it. When Amy gets too close to the truth, she puts a target on her own back. Will she be the next quizzer to meet a questionable end?
Praise for The Write Way to Die series:
'These books comfortably stand alongside Mr Osman's fabulous creations.'
'A writing masterclass.'
'A brilliantly fun, darkly comedic "whodunnit".'

Reviews / Votes
'A fun, action-packed crime romp set against the backdrop of the good ol' British pub-quiz scene. This story plays out so naturally you almost forget it's a novel. Hugely satisfying.'Charlie Gallagher
