Trivia Night: Murder on the Outer Banks
On the sun-washed beaches of Outer Banks, trivia night is supposed to be harmless fun.
For Rick Gregory, it’s something else entirely.
A longtime trivia host across the Outer Banks, Rick is known for his rigid standards—absolute accuracy, strict rules, and zero tolerance for careless players. To most people, he’s just another quirky quizmaster behind a microphone. But when contestants—locals and tourists alike—fail to live up to his idea of fairness, Rick’s obsession quietly crosses a deadly line.
Soon, a string of bizarre murders begins to surface across the barrier islands. The crimes appear random. The victims share nothing obvious in common. Local law enforcement is left chasing shadows, unable to find a motive—or even a pattern.
Until one determined local TV reporter starts noticing strange connections from one beach town to the next. Wrong answers. Missed questions. Trivia nights no one thought twice about.
As suspicion grows, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation launches a high-stakes sting operation, racing to stop a killer who blends in perfectly with the crowd.
Because the most dangerous person in the room isn’t hiding in the shadows.
He’s standing behind the trivia podium.
Trivia Murder on the Outer Banks is a dark, fast-paced coastal mystery that blends psychological obsession, small-town secrets, and escalating tension—set against the deceptively relaxed backdrop of beach bars and seaside towns.
Perfect for readers who
Coastal crime fiction with a unique premise
Serial killer mysteries without clichés
Small-town thrillers where everyone is a suspect
Page-turners that build dread beneath everyday life
When the questions stop being fun, the answers can be deadly.
