013 - (Part 1) Murder in the Crooked House [Dying Message Challenge]

Is it a book club? Is it a game show? Our spin-off: Dying Message Challenge is a little bit of both! Three contestants try to solve the murders in the novel Murder in the Crooked House before reading the end of the book. They'll earn additional points in a series of challenges posed by host Noah Max Levine, and compete for the title of "Detective Champion." Part 1 spoils parts of the book -- but does not spoil the solution to the murders. If you enjoy our coverage of mystery anime, see what we can do with a Japanese mystery novel!
